63 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Quantity of meat= 18 pounds

TIme taken= 2 hours

Rate= Quantity/Time taken

Taya2010 [7]
We know that Bonnie complete her paper route in 45min. So, in 1min she can complete:

\frac{1}{45} of her paper route.

We need to know <span>how long it would take Jean alone, then we will call this time x. Working together they last 18min, so </span>in 1min they can complete:

\frac{1}{18} of the paper route.

The paper route working together satisfies the following equation:

\frac{1}{18} = \frac{1}{45} + \frac{1}{x}

Solving this equation:

\frac{1}{x} = \frac{1}{18} - \frac{1}{45} =  \frac{45-18}{810} =  \frac{27}{810}
x = \frac{810}{27} = 30min

Finally:
It takes 30min to complete the paper route by Jane alone.

Find two positive numbers satisfying the given requirements. The product is 432 and the sum of the first plus three times the se
kogti [31]

Answer:

<h3>36 and 12</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two positive integers be x and y.

If their product is 432, then

xy = 432 ......... 1

Also if the sum of the first plus three times the second is a minimum, then;

p(x) = x + 3y

From 1;

y = 432/x ..... 3

Substitute 3 into 2;

p(x) = x+3y

p(x)= x + 3(432/x)

p(x) = x + 1296/x

Since the expression is at minimum when dp(x)/dx = 0

dp/dx = 1 + (-1296)/x²

dp/dx = 1  -1296/x²

0 =  1  -1296/x²

0 = (x²-1296)/x²

cross multiply

0 = x²-1296

x² = 1296

x = √1296

x = 36

Since xy = 432

36y = 432

y = 432/36

y = 12

Hence the two positive numbers are 36 and 12

Drag each statement to the correct location on the flowchart. Not all statements will be used.
Monica [59]

The information to fill one the box regarding the proof include:

  • AB = CD
  • AD = CB
  • BD is common to both triangles

<h3>How to illustrate the proof?</h3>

It should be noted that when two triangles of each corresponding sides are equal, then it's said that they are similar.

Here AB = CD, and AD = CB as they illustrate the fact that they are parallel.
