24 minutes.

Let me explain.

The lawn can be any size, but for the purpose of simplicity, let's say it's 240 square meters.

Peter mows 6 square meters per minute if he mows 240 square meters in 40 minutes.

John mows 4 square metres each minute if he mows 240 square metres in 60 minutes.

They'll mow 10 square meters per minute if they work together.

As a result, mowing the entire lawn will take them 24 minutes.

(Note that the location is irrelevant as long as we know how long each man takes to complete the task separately.) The answer would be the same if the field was 1 million hectares in size.)

I hope this helps.

The times to process orders at the service counter of a pharmacy are exponentially distributed with mean 1 0 minutes. If 100 cus
g100num [7]

Answer:

Therefore,  the probability that at least half of them need to wait more than 10 minutes is <em>0.0031</em>.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the probability of an exponential distribution is:

P(x < b) = 1 - e^(b/3)

Using the complement rule, we can determine the probability of a customer having to wait more than 10 minutes, by:

p = P(x > 10)

  = 1 - P(x < 10)

  = 1 - (1 - e^(-10/10) )

  = e⁻¹

  = 0.3679

The z-score is the difference in sample size and the population mean, divided by the standard deviation:

z = (p' - p) / √[p(1 - p) / n]

  = (0.5 - 0.3679) / √[0.3679(1 - 0.3679) / 100)]

  = 2.7393

Therefore, using the probability table, you find that the corresponding probability is:

P(p' ≥ 0.5) = P(z > 2.7393)

<em>P(p' ≥ 0.5) = 0.0031</em>

<em></em>

Therefore,  the probability that at least half of them need to wait more than 10 minutes is <em>0.0031</em>.

X4 – 17x2 + 16 = 0 Rewrite the equation in terms of u
slavikrds [6]
You probably are interested in expressing the given equation as a quadratic equation in u, as it will make it easy to find the solutions.

Let u = x²
So,
u² = x⁴

So, the given equation can be written as:

u² - 17u + 16 = 0

Now the equation is quadratic in u and the solutions can be calculated using quadratic formula or factorization.

Troy drew a triangle with coordinates ( 5 , 6 ) , ( 5 , 4 ) , and ( 8 , 4 ) . He rotated the triangle 180° about the origin. Wha
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

The answers are B, C, and D.

Step-by-step explanation:

When you rotate an image 180° about the origin, you are flipping it twice. An easy rule is that an (x, y) pair becomes (-x, -y). Now just reverse the sign of the coordinates. Our rotated shape has the coordinates (-5, -6), (-5, -4), and (-8, -4).
