When they work together, they do 1/3 of the job in one hour.
(Bubba) + (Skeeter) = 1/3 job/hour
Subtract 'Bubba'
from each side: Skeeter = (1/3 job/hour) - (Bubba)
Bubba, working alone, does 1/8 of the job in one hour.
Skeeter = (1/3 job/hour) - (1/8 job/hour)
Can you subtract 1/8 from 1/3 ?
Before you can subtract, you'll need a common denominator.
I've got a nice one here . . . 24 .
1/3 = 8/24
1/8 = 3/24
Skeeter = (1/3 job/hour) - (1/8 job/hour)
= (8/24 job/hour) - (3/24 job/hour)
= 5/24 job/hour .
Skeeter mows at the rate of 5/24 field/hour.
The other way to look at that is: 24/5 hour/field = 4.8 hours .
Check:
Bubba: 1/8 field per hour = 0.125
Skeeter: 1/4.8 field per hour = 0.208333...
Together: (0.125 + 0.208333)
= 0.333... field per hour
= 3 hours/field . yay!
Answer:
y = (3/8)x - 1.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the slope-intercept form y = mx + b. Substitute -1.5 for b, 4 for x and 0 for y. Then: 0 = m(4) - 1.5, or
4m = 1.5, or
The slope is m = 1.5/4, or m = 0.375, or m = 3/8.
Note that the x-intercept can be treated just like any other point: (4, 0)
Then the desired equation is y = (3/8)x - 1.5
Answer:
31.2
Step-by-step explanation:
156 * .2 = 31.2
Functions can be represented using equations, graphs and tables.
The function is given as:
When l = 1, we have:
When l = 2, we have:
When l = 3, we have:
When l = 4, we have:
Represent the above results as a table, we have:
<u>l a(l)</u>
1 0.5
2 2.0
3 4.5
4 8.0
