What do you mean this sentence?
the time a pump takes to drain the pool varies inversely with the power in watts of the pump,
The meaning would be : if we have a power in watts greater the time to drag the pool will be less because the relation between power and time is inverse.
40 watts--------------5 hours)
100 watts------------ x
because the relation between power and time is inverse, we multiply directly.
40 watts(5 hours)=100 watts x
x=(200 watts hours) / 100 watts=2 hours.
Answer: the time would be 2 hours. (the new pump is faster)

Step-by-step explanation:
To find the distance between two ordered pairs, we can use the distance formula. The distance formula is:

Let (2,-3) be x₁ and y₁ respectively, and let (-4,4) be x₂ and y₂, respectively.

Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
- 71 in House of Representatives
- 17 in Senate
Step-by-step explanation:
Let h and s represent the numbers in the House and Senate, respectively. Then we have ...
h + s = 88
h - s = 54
Subtracting the second equation from the first gives ...
(h +s) -(h -s) = (88) -(54)
2s = 34 . . . . . simplify
s = 17 . . . . . . . divide by 2
h = 88 -17 = 71 . . . . find the other value using the sum equation
There were 71 females in the House of Representatives, and 17 females in the Senate.
