Answer:

so the answer will be 1

Step-by-step explanation:

An oil tanker can be emptied by the main pump in 5 hours.

An auxilary pump can empty the tanker in 14 hours.

If the main pump is started at 7pm, when should the auxilary pump be started

so that the tanker is emptied by 11pm?

:

Let t = no. of hrs to run the Aux pump

:

The main pump will run 4 hr (7 - 11 pm)

:

Let the completed job = 1; (an empty Tanker)

:

The shared work equation

4%2F5 + t%2F14 = 1

Multiply equation by 70 to get rid of the equation, results:

14(4) + 5t = 70

56 + 5t = 70

5t = 70 - 56

5t = 14

t = 14%2F5

t = 2.8 hrs to run the aux pump

:

2.8 hr = 2 + .8(60) = 2 hrs 48 min

:

Subtract 2:48 from 11:00 = 8:12 PM start the aux pump

;

;

Check solution

4/5 + 2.8/14 =

.8 + .2 = 1

The pyrotechnic team for Fist Bump’s tour want to know how high the arena is to 2 decimal places. The arena is 61.3786 metres hi
Aloiza [94]
When you find any value to x amount of decimal places, you need to go to the term AFTER that to determine the correct value.  So, for this, take 61.378 metres.  From here, look if the last number is 4 or less.  If the number is 4 or less, take the leftmost number off, and you will have your answer (if we had 61.373, the correct answer would be 61.37).  If the number is 5 or more, take the leftmost number off, and add 1 to the new leftmost number.  Since the last number is 8, the correct answer here is 61.38 metres high.  If adding 1 makes the number 10, keep the 0 at the end.  So, if you had 61.399, you would make it 61.40

X/-2 + 6 < 9 Solve for x.
satela [25.4K]
Subtract -6 on both sides
Now you have x/-2 on the left and 3 on the right
Then multiply -2 on both sides, leaving you with x on the left and -6 on the right
So x< -6

Answer:

width = 6 feet

length = 19 feet

50 = 2w + 4w + 14

36 = 6w

6 = w

length = 2(6)+7 = 19
