Answer:

It will take 5 hours and 5 minutes to fill the tank

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to get the time taken to fill the tap

Let us have the rate per hour

A fills in 6 hours; so the fraction filled in an hour is 1/6

B fills in 8 hours, so the fraction filled in an hour is 1/8

C empties in 10 hours, so the fraction removed per hour is 1/10

So factoring the supply and removal, where removal is on a negative basis

we have it that in an hour, the fraction retained is;

1/6 + 1/8 - 1/10

= (20 + 15 - 12)/120

= 23/120

So this is the fraction retained per hour

The number of hours it will take to have a whole is simply the reciprocal of this fraction

That would simply be 120/23 = 5 5/23

5 hours and 5 minutes

NoT YellInG ThIS IS JuSt TO AtTRaCT AtTeNTiOn 50 POiNtS PLeaSE ANswER I Am NoT WasTiNg PoInTS!!! Find the range of 1 1/4, 5/8, 3
Arada [10]

Answer:

<u>Range = 1 1/4</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Range = Maximum - Minimum

Arranging the data in ascending order :

  • <u>1/2, 5/8, 3/4, 1 1/4, 1 1/2, 1 3/4</u>

<u />

Solving for range :

  • Range = 1 3/4 - 1/2
  • Range = 1 3/4 - 2/4
  • Range = 7/4 - 2/4
  • Range = 5/4
  • <u>Range = 1 1/4</u>

How long will the spring be if a 2 pound weight is hung on it? Will the length double if you double the weight?
mars1129 [50]
Logically if you double weight on something it means that you are adding the exact same weight as the first object to the same thing to make it twice the weight as the original, so yes... the weight will double if the length is doubled
