Answer:
To do this you have to combine like terms. For example, 7x and -5x.
<span>Rate of pump A: 1/8 of a pool per hour
Rate of pump B: 1/9 of a pool per hour
Combined rate: 1/8+1/9 = 17/72 +1/9 = 25/72
So if they work together, the two pumps have a combined rate of 25/72 of a pool per hour (i.e in one hour, the two pumps will empty 25/72 of the pool)
</span><span>But we want to empty ONE pool (not 25/72 of one). So we need to multiply 25/72 by some number x to get 1.
</span>
<span>Now solve for x
x=2.88
</span><span>It will take the two pumps 2.88 hours to empty the pool.
2 hours 52 minutes 50 seconds</span>
The answer is Yes, you can factor this equation.
Answer:
2, 3
1.01, 1
Percentage uncertainty
Step-by-step explanation:
a) The significant figures in the number 99 is 2
The significant figures in the number 100 is 3
b) Uncertainty in each of the numbers for both the numbers is 1
Percentage uncertainty
99

Percentage uncertainty = 1.01
100

Percentage uncertainty = 1
c) Percentage uncertainty is a better way to express the numbers as the significant figures do not show the actual value of the numbers.
