Answer:

Let x equal the amount of time required for the second press to complete the job on its own.

The second press then operates at a rate of 1/x of the job per hour.

The two presses work together at a rate of 1/2 of the job per hour.

And the first press operates at a rate of one-sixth of the job per hour.

As a result, our equation to solve is:

1/6+1/x=1/2 multiply each term by 6x x+6=3x subtract x from each side x-x+6=3x-x group like terms together

2x=6 multiply both sides by 2 x=3 the number of hours required for the second press to finish the job

CK

1/6+1/3=1/2

1/6+2/6=1/2\s3/6=1/2

1/2=1/2\salso\s(1/6)*2=1/3\s(1/3)*2=2/3\s2/3+1/3=1 (Only one job)

1=1

Two ships leave the same port at the same time. Two hours later ship A has traveled 12 miles and ship B has traveled 8 miles.
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

the angle between their paths is <em>100.8°</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information, you can construct a triangle, just like the one in the figure.

We will use the <em>Cosine Rule</em> which is:

c² = b² + a² - 2 b c cos(θ)

where

  • c = 16 miles
  • b = 8 miles
  • a = 12 miles

Therefore,

2 b c cos(θ) = b² + a² - c²

cos(θ) = (b² + a² - c²) / 2 b c

θ = cos⁻¹( (b² + a² - c²) / (2 b c) )

θ = cos⁻¹( (8² + 12² - 16²) / 2(8)(16) )

<em>θ = 100.8°</em>

<em></em>

Therefore, the angle between their paths is <em>100.8°</em>

Given that G=ab find the percentage increase in G when both a and b<br> increase by 10%
monitta

The percentage change in G is 21 %

<h3>What is Percentage change ?</h3>

Percentage change is defined as the increase or decrease in the value as compared to the original value multiplied by 100.

It is given that

G = ab

when a is increased by 10% the new a will be = 1.1 a

When b is increased by 10% the new b will be 1.1 b

So,

G' = 1.1a *1.1 b

G' = 1.21 ab

G' = 1.21

(G' - G)*100/G = (1.21-1)*100/1

The percentage change is 21 %

A car travelled 100 km with half the distance at 40 km/h and the other half at 80 km/h. Find the average speed of the car for th
Nana76 [90]
We must look at this question in steps
The first half of the journey is travelled at 40 km/h
Half of 100km is 50 km
Using the formula
Distance = Speed x Time
Speed = Distance / Time
Time = Distance / Speed
We can work out the time:

50km / 40km/h = 1.25 hours

Next we look at the second half of the journey
50km at 80km/h
50km / 80km/h = 0.625 hours

Add together both times to work out how long the entire journey took
1.25 + 0.625 = 1.875 hours

Using the Speed formula from before
Speed = 100km / 1.875 =
53 1/3 km/h or 53.3 recurring km/h
