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.

A coyote can run up to 43 miles per hour while a rabbit can run up to 35 miles per hour.write two equivalent expression and then
yaroslaw [1]
D=s*t
distaance=speed times time

cd=coyote distance*time=ds*dt
rd=rabbit diatance*time=rs*rt

given
t=6 for all, so dt=rt=6

and ds=43
rs=35


cd=43*6=258miles
rd=35*6=210miles

how much more?
258-210=48

48 more miles

I'm not sure if this is the easiest way of doing this, but it surely work.

Let the base of the triangle be AB, and let CH be the height. Just for reference, we have

AH=2,\quad HB=6,\quad AC=x

Moreover, let CH=y and BC=z

Now, AHC, CHB and ABC are all right triangles. If we write the pythagorean theorem for each of them, we have the following system

\begin{cases}4+y^2=x^2\\36+y^2=z^2\\x^2+z^2=64\end{cases}

If we solve the first two equations for y squared, we have

y^2=x^2-4\\y^2=z^2-36

And we can deduce

z^2 = x^2+32

So that the third equation becomes

x^2+x^2+32=64 \iff 2x^2 = 32 \iff x^2=16 \iff x=4

(we can't accept the negative root because negative lengths make no sense)

Most experts believe that young children’s not being
kipiarov [429]

(E) "the withholding of physical affection from young children interferes"

The mistake here is in the punctuation. The subject ("young...affection") and its verb are needlessly separated by a comma ("interferes"). Furthermore, the sentence's structure is complicated. Only E fixes these mistakes without introducing any new ones.

There is improper punctuation in Option (A). The subject ("young...affection") and its verb are needlessly separated by a comma ("interferes"). Uncertain pronoun references are present in Option (B). It's unclear to what the pronoun "it" refers.  

The incorrect usage of a definite article is in Option (C). The words "the failure" implies that the failure has already been discussed, yet this is false. Choice (D) uses inappropriate wording. "Withholding" is a verb without a subject.

Here's another question with an answer similar to this about punctuations: brainly.com/question/12933782
