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.

In an auditorium, the first row of seats has 30 seats. each row behind the first row has 4 more seats then the row in front of i
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

126

Step-by-step explanation:

Row 1: 30+0*4

Row 2: 30+1*4

Row 3: 30+2*4

...

The list goes on. Do you see a pattern here? If we call the row number as r, the formula is 30+(r-1)*4. In the 25th row, the r is 25. So in the formula, it is 30+(25-1)*4=30+24*4=126.

I hope that helped.

ΔRST ≅ ΔXYZ. If RS = 13, YZ = 11, and XZ = 9, what is XY? A. 13 B. 9 C. 2 D. 11
Usimov [2.4K]
The answer is option "A, 13".

As both triangles are similar.
<span>ΔRST ≅ ΔXYZ.
it means RS = XY
YZ = ST
and XZ = RT
Now given that RS = 13 which is equal to XY.
Thus XY is equal to 13.</span>

I am looking to decrease my bill by 25%. Can you look at my current plan and tell me what I can remove to achieve this reduction
Gennadij [26K]

Answer: $35

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are informed that the current bill of the person is $140.00 per month and that the person wants to decrease the bill by 25%.

To know the amount that the person needs to deduct, we have to calculate 25% of $140.00. This will be:

= 25% of $140

= 25/100 × $140

= 1/4 × $140

= 0.25 × $140

= $35

The person will need to remove $35. The person will now pay ($140 - $35) = $105 monthly.

Please choose answer choice a,b,c or d
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

A. -4

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope is rise over run, or y2-y1 / x2-x1.

\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1} = \frac{-4-8}{2--1} =\frac{-12}{3} = -4

<u>The slope is A. -4.</u>

Let's see--does that make sense? A slope of four would be pretty steep, and that matches the graph. It also should be negative because the line goes down and to the right, not up and to the right, so -4 makes sense!
