Answer:
no
Step-by-step explanation:
because no
Suppose the larger pump alone can empty the tank in L hours, and the smaller pump can finish the job in S hours, then each hour the large pump empties 1/L portion of the tank, and the small pump empties 1/S per hour
Working together for three hours, they empty the whole tank, which is 100% of it, so 3/L+3/S=100%=1
Larger pump can empty the tank in 4 hours less than the smaller one, so L=S-4
replace L: 3/(S-4)+3/S=1
Make the denominator the same to solve for:
3S/[S(S-4)] +3(S-4)/[S(S-4)]=1
(3S+3S-12)/[S(S-4)]=1
(3S+3S-12)=[S(S-4)]
S^2-10s+12=0
use the quadratic formula to solve for S
S is about 8.6
The answer is not whole hour.
Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
Parallel lines have the same slope
So if line Q has a slope of 3
Line R which is parallel to Q must have a slope of 3
Answer:
There are two answers, either of which would work
- 26°, 26° and 128°
- 26°, 77° and 77°
Method:
An isosceles triangle has 2 of the same sides so there are two possible answers:
1) 26° is one of the angles which is the same as another. 26° × 2 = 52° and since there are 180° in a triangle the other angle is 180° - 52° which is 128°. This would make the angles 26°, 26° and 128°
2) 26° is not one of the angles which is the same as another. Since there are 180° in a triangle, the other angles would both be 2 ÷ (180° - 26°) which is 77°. This would make the angless 26°, 77° and 77°
So the math here is 1+1 = 2
