When they work together, they do  1/3 of the job in one hour.

                   (Bubba) + (Skeeter) = 1/3 job/hour    

Subtract 'Bubba'
from each side:            Skeeter  =  (1/3 job/hour) - (Bubba)

Bubba, working alone, does  1/8 of the job in one hour.

                                      Skeeter  =  (1/3 job/hour) - (1/8 job/hour)

Can you subtract 1/8 from 1/3 ?

Before you can subtract, you'll need a common denominator.
I've got a nice one here . . .  24 .

                   1/3  =  8/24
                   1/8  =  3/24                                                         

                   Skeeter  =  (1/3 job/hour) - (1/8 job/hour)

                                  =  (8/24 job/hour) - (3/24 job/hour)

                                  =        5/24 job/hour .

Skeeter mows at the rate of  5/24 field/hour.

The other way to look at that is:     24/5 hour/field  =  4.8 hours .

Check:

         Bubba:     1/8     field per hour  =  0.125
         Skeeter:  1/4.8  field per hour  =  0.208333...     

         Together:                        (0.125 + 0.208333)

                                             =  0.333... field per hour

                                             =    3 hours/field .                  yay!

Which points are the approximate locations of the foci of the ellipse? Round to the nearest tenth. (−2.2, 4) and (8.2, 4) (−0.8,
Studentka2010 [4]

The graph is attached.

Answer:

(-2.2, 4) and (8.2, 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

In an ellipse, there is a minor radius and a major radius.

Let major radius be = a

Let minor radius be= b

From the graph, we are given:

Major radius, a = 6

Minor radius, b = 3

Now, let's find the distance from the center to the focus using the formula:

\sqrt{a^2 - b^2}

Substituting values, we have:

= \sqrt{6^2 - 3^2}

= \sqrt{36 - 9}

= \sqrt{27} = 5.916

≈ 5.2

We can see from the graph that center coordinate is (3, 4). Therefore, the approximate locations of the foci of the ellipse would be:

(3-5.2, 4) and (3+5.2, 4)

= (-2.2, 4) and (8.2, 4)

A​ single, six-sided die is rolled. Find the probability of rolling an even number or a number less than 6 .
boyakko [2]

Answer:

P=1

Step-by-step explanation:

P(even or less than 6) = P(even)+P(less than 6) -P(even ∩ less than 6)

P(even)=3/6 (numbers 2,4, and 6)

P(less than 6) =5/6 (numbers 1,2,3,4, and 5)

P(even ∩ less than 6)=2/6 (numbers 2 and 4)

(3/6)+(5/6) -(2/6) = (3+5-2)/6 = 6/6=1

Nayeli lights a 4\,\text{m}^24m 2 4, start text, m, end text, squared space with 121212 candles. citlali lights a 10\,\text{m}^2
elena55 [62]

Using proportions, it is found that both spaces have the same brightness, as both have 3 candles per m².

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

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.

For Nayeli and Citlali, the rate of candles per m² is given by:

  • N = 12/4 = 3 candles per m².
  • C = 30/10 = 3 candles per m².

Hence both spaces have the same brightness, as both have 3 candles per m².
