Since if he gets the driveway done in 20 minutes he gets 1/20th of the driveway done in 1 minute (if x=20 then x/20=1 by dividing both sides by 20) and if his brother gets 1/12th of the driveway done in one minute, then if t represents the time it takes to shovel the driveway, t/20+t/12=1 driveway shoveled as 1/20+1/12=amount they can do in 1 minute, so t/20+t/12 is how much they can do in t minutes. Multiplying both sides by 20*12=240, we get 12t+20t=32t=240. Dividing both sides by 32, we get 240/32=7.5 minutes to shovel the driveway.

Describe how the graph of y=log (10 000x) is related to the graph of y=log x
Nana76 [90]
Background: log (a . b) = log a + log b 
hence log(10000x) = log 10000 + log x but we know that log 10000 = 4
                               = 4 + log x 
therefore the graph of log(10000x) is just the graph of log x transposed by 4

There are seven roads that lead to the top of a hill. How many different ways are there to reach the top and come back ( you don
Setler [38]

Answer:

49 different ways

Step-by-step explanation:

If there are seven roads that lead to the top, you have seven possible choices to go to the top of the hill.

Then, to come back to the start, you also have seven possible choices (seven roads), and you can pick any road.

So, if you have seven ways to go up and seven ways to go down, the number of different ways of going to the top and coming back is the product of these numbers of possible choices.

N(total) = N(up) * N(down)

N(total) = 7 * 7

N(total) = 49 different ways

The figures shown are similar.
SSSSS [86.1K]
Well first off here we know that one of the figures here is 24 and the other one is 18 so immediatly we can make a fraction out of this by putting the bigger number on the bottom as the denominator and the smaller number on the top as the numerator like so 18/24 we also know that this fraction can easily be simplified like so 3/4 (because 6 goes into each of them evenly) so the scale factor of these 2 figures is 3/4 or C.Enjoy!=)
