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

Marrrta [24]

Using proportions, it is found that there is a 0.54 = 54% probability that a randomly selected household owns a cat.

<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>

A proportion is a fraction of total amount.

In this problem, the proportions associated with owning a cat are given by:

  • 70% of 60%(also have a dog).
  • 30% of 40%(do not have a dog).

Hence:

p = 0.7(0.6) + 0.3(0.4) = 0.42 + 0.12 = 0.54.

0.54 = 54% probability that a randomly selected household owns a cat.

If f(x) = 3x + 12, find the value of x so that f(x) = 36.
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

The answer is 8 .

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=36

36=3x+12

36-12 and 12 -12

36-12=24

24 divided by the 3 that left in the equation equals 8 .

36=3x+12

-12       -12

24=3x

divided 24 by 3 and get 8
