A = b+5
ab = 3300
(b+5)b = 3300
b² +5b -3300 = 0 (quadratic formula)
b=55
a=60 (by first relation)
Answer:
r = 3 1/4
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, we want to find the value of r given the values
Firstly, we will write r as the subject of the formula
U = π ( r + h)
U/π = r + h
r = U/π - h
Now substitute;
U = 16 1/2 = 33/2
h = 2
π= 22/7
r = 33/2/22/7 - 2
r = (33/2 * 7/22) - 2
r = 21/4 - 2
r = (21-8)/4
r = 13/4 = 3 1/4
Answer:
B. 7.5 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming that both hoses fill at the same rate, then by simple proportion,
To raise the pool by 1 foot of water:
1 hose ---> takes 3 hours
2 hoses ----> fills twice as fast ---> will take half the time ---> 3/2 = 1.5 hrs
Hence with 2 hoses, it will take 1.5 hours to fill 1 foot of water.
to fill 5 feet of water, we will need 1.5 hours x 5 feet = 7.5 hours
