A and B can fill a cistern in 4 hours. A and C can fill

Mathematics

Answer:

20 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

We can work easier if we think in terms of an hour

the first equation that we can write is

A + B = 1/4 (its meaning is that in an hour A and B fill 1/4 of the cistern)

the second equation we can write is

A + C = 1/5 (its meaning is that in an hour A and C fill 1/5 of the cistern)

the third equation that we can write is

B = 2C  (its meaning is that in an hour B fill 2 times C the cistern)

now we can substitute the value of B in the first two equations

A + 2C = 1/4

A + C = 1/5

A = 1/5 - C

1/5 - C + 2C = 1/4

C = 1/4 -1/5

C = (5-4)/20

C = 1/20 (this means that in an hour C will fill 1/20 of the cistern, so it takes 20 hours to fill the entire cistern)

A = 1/5 - 1/20

A = (4-1)/20 = 3/20

B = 1/20 *2 = 1/10

Describe the graph of a function g by observing the graph of the base function f ? ​
never [62]

Answer:

Choice 3 is your answer

Step-by-step explanation:

The format of the function when you move it side to side or up and down is

f(x) = (x - h) + k,

where h is the side to side movement and k is up or down.  The k is easy, since it will be positive if we move the function up and negative if we move the function down from its original position.

The h is a little more difficult, but just remember the standard form of the side to side movement is always (x - h).  If our function has moved 3 units to the left, we fit that movement into our standard form as (x - (-3)), which of course is the same as (x + 3).  Our function has moved up 5 units, so the final translation is

g(x) = f(x + 3) + 5, choice 3 from the top.

A system of equations is given below:
My name is Ann [436]
Solving by substitution:

y = 4x - 3 

2x + 7y = 41

Let us substitute the first equation y = 4x - 3  into the second.

2x + 7y = 41

2x + 7(y = 4x -3) = 41

2x + 7(4x -3) = 41

So that's the third option.

I hope this helps.

Not exactly sure if I’m right but

1. $56 < $60



2. $60 - $36 = $24/4 hours = 6.

36+24 = 60, we want to use LESS than 60 so we use see how much it’ll take to spend 5 hours for parking.

5 x $4 = $20.

$36 + $20 = $56


I’m not exactly sure though...

Ira Lisetskai [31]
First, let's simplify the inequality as much as we can:

-4x + 7 > 15
-4x > 8

Divide by -4:

Consider a manufacturing process called as turning (a type of machining process) that is used to manufacture cylindrical metal s
Sav [38]

Answer: 86.64%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be a random variable that represents the diameter of metal samples.

Given : Population mean : \mu=10

Standard deviation: s=0.50

Specified tolerance on the diameter is 0.75 mm.

i.e. range of diameter = 10-0.75< x <10+0.75 = 9.25< x< 10.75

Formula to find the z-score corresponds to x: z=\dfrac{x-\mu}{s}

At x= 0.75,  z=\dfrac{9.25-10}{0.50}=-1.5

z=\dfrac{9.25-10}{0.50}=1.5

Using standard normal table for z-value,

P-value : p(-1.5

∴ Percentage of samples manufactured using this process satisfy the tolerance specification = 86.64%
