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.

What is the volume of the cylinder below? A cylinder with a height of 12 millimeters and diameter of 18 millimeters. 108 pi mm3

Artemon [7]

Answer:

V =972 pi mm ^3

Step-by-step explanation:

The diameter is 18 so the radius is 1/2 of the diameter

18/2 = 9

r=9

The volume of a cylinder is

V = pi r^2 h

V = pi (9)^2 12

V =972 pi mm ^3

Please help!! I need the answer to the question in the picture!!!!

Answer:

$\large\boxed{D.\ x=-2(y+3)^2-1}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a horizontal parabola in the standard form:

$x=a(y-k)^2+h$

(h, k) - vertex

if a > 0, then open right

if a < 0, then open left

We have the vertrex (-1, -3) and the parabola is open left (a < 0).

Therefore the equation of a given parabola could be:

$x=-2(y-(-3))^2+(-1)=-2(y+3)^2-1$

The currency in switzerland is called a franc. On a certain day, one U.S. dollar equaled 1 1/4 swiss france. Write and solve a m

Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

The equation is x = y * 4/5 and US$ 12 would equal 15 Swiss Francs

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review all the information provided for solving this question:

1 US$ equivalent to 1 1/4 Swiss Franc

2. Let's write and solve a multiplication equation to find the amount of US$ that would equal 15 Swiss Francs

x = Amount of US$ equivalent

y = Amount of Swiss Francs

x = y /1.25

x = y / 5/4 (1.25 = 5/4)

x = y * 4/5

Now, let's replace with the real values:

x = 15 * 4/5

x = 60/5

x = 12

US$ 12 would equal 15 Swiss Francs

What is the answer to this 6w+5>2(3w+3).

fomenos

Answer:

No Solution

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have the inequality:

$6w+5>2(3w+3)$

Distribute on the right:

$6w+5>6w+6$

Subtract 6w from both sides:

$5>6$

5 is not greater than 6.

Therefore, the answer to this inequality is no solution.
