active. the drain valve can empty the tank to thr cut-off in 10 minutes. the pump can fill the rank from the cut-off in 14 minutes. during the flushing process, how long will it take for the initially full tank to reach the cut-off level while following the protocol?​

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

drain empties 1/10 of the desired amount per minute

pump fills 1/14 of the desired amount per minute

when both are active, the net drain is 1/10-1/14 = 1/35 of the desired amount per minute

It takes 35 minutes to reach the cut-off level.

igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

GH=15

Step-by-step explanation:

HK= FK/2= 16/2= 8

Using pythagoras theorem in triangle GHK,

GH²= GK²-HK²

= 17²-8²

= 225

GH= √225

You have 12 cups of granola and 8 1/2 cups of peanuts to make trail mix. What is the greatest number of full batches of trail mi
nikitadnepr [17]
Hello! Sorry that I'm late. Okay, so each batch calls for 2 2/3 cups of granola and 1 1/3 cups of peanuts. Let's divide the number of cups available total by the amount per batch. To divide fractions, keep the first fraction the same, change division into multiplication, and flip the other faction over. Let's do it. 12/1 * 3/8 = 36/8 or 4 1/2 in mixed number form. 17/2 * 3/4 = 51/8 or 6 3/8 in simplest form. You can only make 4 full batches of trail mix, because you can only use the full serving of both granola AND peanuts for 4 of them.

Joe is 1.6m tall. His shadow is 2m long when he stands 3m from the base of a floodlight.height1.6 m2m3mWhat is the height of the
alexdok [17]
We are given the height of Joe which is 1.6 meters, the length of his shadow is 2 meters when he stands 3 meters from the base of the floodlight. 

First, we have to illustrate the problem. Then we can observe two right triangles formed, one is using Joe and the length of the shadow, the other is the floodlight and the sum of the distance from the base plus the length of the shadow. To determine the height of the floodlight, use ratio and proportion:

1.6 / 2 = x / (2 +3)

where x is the height of the flood light

solve for x, x = 4. Therefore, the height of the floodlight is 4 meters.

lidiya [134]

Answer:

2016

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, let us find the prime factors of the given numbers:

             96

        8   x    12

  2 x 2 x 2      2 x 2 x 3

              2⁵ x 3

             144

       12     x      12

  2 x 2 x 3       2 x 2 x 3

              2⁴  x 3²

                126

        2       x       63

      2                  7 x 9

     2                 3 x 3 x 7

            2 x 3² x 7

So, the lowest common multiple  =  2⁵ x 3² x 7  = 2016
