Answer: Kim can mow the greens alone in 6 hours.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let K be the rate Kim mows the greens, and S the rate for Shayla. The rates K and S will be in greens/hour.
We know they can mow 1 green in 4 hours. We can state this as a sum of their rates times the 4 hours equals one green:
(4 hours)*(K + S) = 1 green
We are told that K = 2S [Kim is twice as fast as Shayla]
Subsititute:
(4 hours)*(K + S) = 1 green
(4 hours)*(2S + S) = 1 green
4*(2S + S) = 1 green
12S = 1 green
Shalya's rate is 1 green/12 hours
Kim is twice as fast: K = 2S
Kim's rate is 1 green/6 hours.
First, find the probability of each event:
1) the probability that the spinner will land on a 7.
Since the spinner is split 4 equal sections and there is only 1 sector with 7, we can say the probability of getting a 7 is 1/4 as there is only 1 of 7 out of the total of 4 sections.
<em>and</em>
2) the probability that the spinner will land on B.
Since the spinner is split into 3 equal sections, and there is only 1 sector for B, we can say the probability of getting B is 1/3.
To find the probability of 2 events, we need to multiply the two probabilities.
1/4*1/3 = 1/12
So the answer is 1/12.
Answer:
The similarity statement: FGHI ~ BCDE
Similarity ratio: 5:1
Step-by-step explanation:
The similarity statement is quite obvious, as there are only two rectangles shown, and the other one is "BCDE".
The similarity ratio is 5:1 because everything in the 1st (FGHI) rectangle is multiplied 5 times the values in the 2nd (BCDE) rectangle.
The standard form of a line: Ax + By = C where A, B and C are integers.
Answer:
2x + 3y = -6
-4x + 3y = 12
x - y = 5
Answer: A cherry pie costs 9 and an apple pie cost 12
Step-by-step explanation:
Let an apple pie be represented by a
Let an cherry pie be represented by c
Jennifer sold 12 cherry pies and 3 apple pies for a total of 144. This can be written as:
12c + 3a= 144
Jacob sold 2 cherry pies and 9 apple pies for a total for 126. This can be written as:
2c + 9a = 126
12c + 3a= 144 ............. i
2c + 9a = 126 ........... ii
Multiply equation i by 2
Multiply equation ii by 12
24c + 6a = 288 ........ iii
24c + 108a = 1512 ...... iv
Subtract iv from iii
-102a = -1224
a = 1224/102
a = 12
An apple pie costs 12
From equation i
12c + 3a= 144
12c + (3×12) = 144
12c + 36 = 144
12c = 144 - 36
12c = 108
c = 108/12
c = 9
A cherry pie costs 9
