Answer:

Peter will complete the job in 8 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice that  5 1/3 hours is  16%2F3  hours.

So, their combined rate of work is  1%2F%28%2816%2F3%29%29  = 3%2F16  of the job per hour.

Steven's rate of work is  1%2F16  of the job per hour.

Hence, Peter's rate of work is the difference  3%2F16 - 1%2F16 = 2%2F16 = 1%2F8  of the job per hour.

It implies that Peter will complete the job in 8 hours, working alone.

If the height of a right triangular prism is 1 5/6 inches. The surface area of the solid formed is: 598.33 in².

<h3>Surface area</h3>

First step

Right triangular prism=1 5/6 inches= 11/6 inches

Height of the base=8 2/3 inches = 26/3 inches

Second step

Surface area = 5(10× 10) + (0.5÷ 10 × 26/3) + 3(10× 11/6)

Surface area = 5(100) +43.33+ 3(18.33)

Surface area = 500) +43.33 + 55

Surface area = 598.33 in²

Therefore the surface area of the solid formed is about 598.33 in²

Farmer Ed has 2,500 meters of fencing,
Juliette [100K]

Answer:

Because it is a rectangle, the area is expressed as A = xy, or length times width.

Because it is next to the river, he only needs to fence three sides, so F = x + 2y.

Knowing the amount of fencing available is 7500m, we get:

 

7500 = x + 2y        solve for x

x = 7500 - 2y         substitute into the area equation

A = (7500 - 2y)y     distribute

A = -2y2 +7500y

 

You can see that this is a parabola which opens down, meaning that the point of maximum area will be at the vertex, y = -b/2a = -7500/[2(-2)] = 1875

 

x = 7500 - 2(1875) = 3750

 

A = 3750(1875)  = 7,031,250 m2
