Let x and y be the 2 parts of 15 ==> x + y=15 (given)
Reciprocal of x and y ==> 1/x +1/y ==> 1/x + 1/y = 3/10 (given)
Let's solve 1/x + 1/y = 3/10 . Common denominator = 10.x.y (reduce to same denominator)
==> (10y+10x)/10xy = 3xy/10xy ==> 10x+10y =3xy
But x+y = 15 , then 10x+10y =150 ==> 150=3xy and xy = 50
Now we have the sum S of the 2 parts that is S = 15 and
their Product = xy =50
Let's use the quadratic equation for S and P==> X² -SX +P =0
Or X² - 15X + 50=0, Solve for X & you will find:
The 1st part of 15 is 10 & the 2nd part is 5
Please, share the goal of the problem. If Carrie works 40 hours per week and spends 15% of her time at the register, how much time does she NOT spend at the register?
Subtract 15% from 100%; the result is 85%. Now find 85% of 40 hours:
0.85(40 hours) = 34 hours.
Please note that I invented part of this problem. Next time, share all of the info so that someone can help you solve YOUR particular problem.
Answer:
E
Step-by-step explanation:
19) Amount of oil in = amount of oil in final product
.025(x) + .09(40-x) = .055(40) (x = 2.5% amt 40 - x = 9% amt)
x = 21.54 L of 2.5 % then 9% = 18.46 L
Question:
Howard is designing a chair swing ride. The swing ropes are 4 meters long, and in full swing they tilt in an angle of 23°. Howard wants the chairs to be 3.5 meters above the ground in full swing. How tall should the pole of the swing ride be? Round your final answer to the nearest hundredth.
Answer:
7.18 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Length of rope, L = 4 m
Angle = 23°
Height of chair, H= 3.5 m
In this question, we are to asked to find the height of the pole of the swing ride.
Let X represent the height of the pole of the swing ride.
Let's first find the length of pole from the top of the swing ride. Thus, we have:

Substituting figures, we have:
Let's make h subject of the formula.

The length of pole from the top of the swing ride is 3.68 meters
To find the height of the pole of the swing ride, we have:
X = h + H
X = 3.68 + 3.5
X = 7.18
Height of the pole of the swing ride is 7.18 meters
The adult weight in pounds is 185.39 lb
<u>Solution:</u>
Given that adult weighs 84.09 kilogram
To find : Adult’s weight in kilograms to pounds
We have the change the weight of the adult from kilogram to pound
The conversion between kilogram and pound is as follows:-
1 kilogram = 2.204623 lb
To find the adult weight in pound, we need to multiply the adult weight in kilogram by 2.204623
<em><u>Converting 84.09 kg to pound:</u></em>

Therefore the weight of the person in pound = 185.39 lb
