Answer:

Okay. At noon, the hour and minute hand overlap. First, let’s calculate the speed of the hands.

The minute hand rotates once around the clock every hour. It goes 360 degrees in 60 minutes, so it rotates 360/60 or 6 degrees per minute. The hour hand goes once around the clock every 12 hours. Because there are 60 minutes in an hour, it goes 360 degrees 12*60 or 720 minutes. This means it travels at a speed of 360/720 or 0.5 degrees per minute.

Once the clock starts, the minute hand goes ahead and rotates ahead of the hour hand. At 1:00, the minute hand is at 12, and the hour hand is ahead at 1. This is where we will start our calculations.

Now, we have a variable, m, which is the minutes that have passed since the clock started. So, our minute hand speed is 6m, and our hour hand speed is 0.5m. However, because the hour hand is at one, it is at 30 degrees. (360/12 * 1.) This means our equation is 6m = 0.5m+30.

Now, we calculate.

6m = 0.5m+30

5.5m = 30

m = 30/5.5

m = 5.45

So at 5.45 minutes, the minute hand is at the hour hand. However, because one hour has passed since we started, we have to add on one hour.

So, our final total is 1 hour 5 minutes and 27 seconds.

<h3>What is the linear system?</h3>

A linear system is one in which the parameter in the equation has a degree of one. It might have one, two, or even more variables.

Mr. Ellis has started a vegetable garden.

He bought 15 bags of soil and 3 bags of fertilizer for 282.72.

He realized he did not have enough supplies so he bought another 5 bags of soil and 2 bags of fertilizer for 107.23.

Let the cost of each bag of soil be x and the cost of a bag of fertilizer be y.

Then we have the linear equations,

15x + 3y = 282.72

5x + 2y = 107.23

On solving the equations 1 and 2, we have

x = 16.25 and y = 12.99

The cost of each bag of soil is $ 16.25 and the cost of each bag of fertilizer is $ 12.99.

Brayden has 342 marbles in bags. If there are 9 marbles in each bag, how many bags of marbles does Brayden have If Brayden gives
Firlakuza [10]
Brayden has 38 bags.
After giving away 15 bags of marbles, Brayden is left with 23 bags.

To find out how many bags he has we do 342 divided by 9 which is 38.

To find out how many marbles are in 15 bags we do 15 x 9 which is 135.
We then do 342 - 135 to find out how many marbles he has left which is 207 and divide 207 by 9 to convert that into bags, which is 23.
