Answer:
Tran family's sprinkler was used for 20 hours
Green's family's sprinkler was used for 30 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the hours for which Tran family's sprinkler used is x hours
water output rate for the Tran family's sprinkler = 35L per hour
water output from Tran family's sprinkler in x hours = 35*x L = 35x
Let the hours for which Green family's sprinkler used is y hours
water output rate for the Green family's sprinkler = 40L per hour
water output from Green family's sprinkler in x hours = 40*y L = 40y
Given
The families used their sprinklers for a combined total of 50 hours
thus
x + y = 50 -------------------equation 1
y = 50-x
total water output of 1900L
35x+40y = 1900 -------------------equation 1
using y = 50-x in equation 2, we have
35x + 40(50-x) = 1900
35x + 2000 - 40x = 1900
=> -5x = 1900 - 2000 = -100
=> x = -100/-5 = 20
y = 50-20 = 30
Thus,
Tran family's sprinkler was used for 20 hours
Green's family's sprinkler was used for 30 hours
Answer:
They can make 4 teams.
Step-by-step explanation:
You can see that 24 cannot be divided by 5, but you can subtract 4 from 24 to get 20, which is a multiple of 5. 20 divided by 5 is 4, so they can make 4 teams.
If you think about it, the question is asking us to find the greatest common factor, or GCF, of the two numbers, 24 and 18.
First, find all of the factors of 24.
The factors are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24
Next, find the factors of 18.
The factors are: 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18
List out all of the factors that both of the numbers have.
The factors are: 1, 2, 3, 6
Whichever is the greatest of these numbers is the GCF.
The GCF is 6, so the greatest number of groups he can make and still be able to win is 6.
Hope this helps!
