Do you remember when you were learning about
Least Common Multiple (LCM) ? And you were
wondering what on Earth you would ever need it for ?
THIS IS IT !
The amount of time after 8 PM when the lights will flash
together again is the LCM of 20 seconds and 30 seconds.
Do you remember how to find it ?
... When 20 is prime-factored, you have 2 · 2 · 5 .
... When 30 is prime-factored, you have 2 · 3 · 5 .
... So the Least Common Multiple of 20 and 30 is 2 · 2 · 3 · 5 = 60 .
The lighthouses will flash together again in 60 seconds after 8 PM.
That'll be 8:01 PM.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the sides of the triangle be a, b and c.
<u>We have:</u>
- P = a + b + c = 29
- a = 2b - 5
- c = b + 6
<u>Substitute values and solve for b:</u>
- 2b - 5 + b + b + 6 = 29
- 4b + 1 = 29
- 4b = 28
- b = 7
<u>Find a and c:</u>
- a = 2*7 - 5 = 14 - 5 = 9
- c = 7 + 6 = 13
<u>The sides are:</u> 7, 9, 13
Those two angles are complementary - which means they both give us 90 degrees. We know that all three angles in any triangle must be exactly 180 degrees, so the third angle will be 180 - 90 = 90 degrees. It means that our triangle is a
<u>straight triangle</u>. The figure will look more less like in the attachment.
60% or 3/5 of the tank will be filled in an hour.
The pump will fill 2/5 of the tank in 2/3 hours.
In order to find out how much of the tank will be filled in an hour, use direct proportion and assume portion of the tank that will be filled up in an hour is x.
<em>2/5 of tank : 2/3 hours </em>
<em>x of tank : 1 hour </em>
Cross multiply to get:
2/3x = 2/5
x = 2/5 ÷ 2/3
x = 2/5 x 3/2
= 0.6 of the tank
= 60%
= 3/5 of tank
In conclusion, 60% of the tank will be filled in an hour.

Answer:
a. 
b. 
c. 
Step-by-step explanation:
a. The volume of water initially in the fish tank = 15 liters
The volume of brine added per minute = 5 liters per minute
The rate at which the mixture is drained = 5 liters per minute
The amount of salt in the fish tank after t minutes = x
Where the volume of water with x grams of salt = 15 liters
dx = (5·c - 5·c/3)×dt = 20/3·c = 

b. The amount of salt, x after t minutes is given by the relation




c. Given that in 10 minutes, the amount of salt in the tank = 25 grams, and the volume is 15 liters, we have;
