You can wash a car 1.5 times as fast as your friend. Working together, the two of you can wash 1 car in 6 minutes. How long does it take each of you to wash the car when working alone? Leave your answer as a fraction!

Answers

Answer 1

If the two of you can wash 1 car in 6 minutes:

It will take you 10 minutes to wash the car alone

take your friend 15 minutes to wash the car alone

Let the duration you can work be represented by y

Let the duration your friend can work be represented by x

You can wash a car 1.5 times as fast as your friend

That is, y = 1.5x

Working together, the two of you can wash 1 car in 6 minutes

This can be represented by the equation

[tex]\frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{y} = \frac{1}{6}[/tex]

Substitute x = 1.5y into the equation above

[tex]\frac{1}{1.5y}+\frac{1}{y} = \frac{1}{6}\\\\\frac{1+1.5}{1.5y} = \frac{1}{6}\\\\\frac{2.5}{1.5y} = \frac{1}{6}\\\\1.5y=2.5(6)\\\\1.5y=15\\\\y=\frac{15}{1.5} \\\\y=10[/tex]

It will take you 10 minutes to wash the car alone

Substitute y = 10 into x = 1.5y

x  =  1.5(10)

x  =  15 minutes

It will take your friend 15 minutes to wash the car alone

Answers

Comparing the numbers, it is found that the tenths value first determines which of the numbers 6.399 or 6.400 is the larger number.

The decimal numbers are 6.399 and 6.400.

The ones value for each is 6.For the first value, the tenths digit is of 3, while for the second is of 4.

The tenths digit is the first in which there is a difference, hence, it determines which of the numbers 6.399 or 6.400 is the larger number.

If 2/3 of a number is 10, then what is 0.15 times of that number?
a) 225 b) 825 c) 22.5 d) 2.25
step by step explanation needed

Answers

Answer:

d) 2.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number is x.

2/3 of a number is 10:

2/3x = 10x = 3*10/2 = 15

0.15 times of the number is:

15*0.15 = 2.25

Correct choice is d

10 divided by 2 is 5. 5 multiplied by 3 is 15. 15 multiplied by 0.15 is 2.25. So the answer is d) 2.25

find an equation of the line that passes through the points (-3,10) and (2,-5)

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

the most common form of line equation is

y = ax + b

a is the slope of the line. it is expressed as the ratio

y coordinate change / x coordinate change

when going from one point to the other.

b is the y-intercept (the y value when x = 0).

once we have the slope, we get b by using the coordinates of one of the given points as x and y in the equation and since for b.

for the slope a :

x changes by +5 (from -3 to 2)

y changes by -15 (from 10 to -5)

so, the slope is -15/+5 = -3

the equation looks now like

y = -3x + b

let's use the first point

10 = -3×-3 + b = 9 + b

1 = b

so, the equation is

y = -3x + 1

find the length of segment AB

Answers

Answer:

E. 214

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the other angles of the triangle are congruent, and separated creates 2 right triangles, this means that segment (because i cant put the actual names for some reason) A to F and segment F to B are equal

8x - 37 = 5x + 17

3x = 54

x = 18

Now substitute to check

8(18) - 37 = 5(18) + 17

107 = 107

So if this is true, to find the segment A to B, just add segments A to F and F to B together

107 + 107 = 214

The length of segment AB is 214

Solving a word problem using a system of linear equations:

Jose the trainer has two solo workout plans that he offers his clients: Plan A and Plan B. Each client does either one or the other (not both). On Monday there
were 4 clients who did Plan A and 8 who did Plan B. On Tuesday there were 2 clients who did Plan A and 3 who did Plan B. Jose trained his Monday clients for a
total of 9 hours and his Tuesday clients for a total of 4 hours. How long does each of the workout plans last?

Answers

The plans are illustrations of system of linear equations

Plan A lasts for 1 and a half hour, while plan B lasts for 1/3 hour

Let A represent plan A, and B represents plan B

On Monday, we have:

4A + 8B = 9

On Tuesday, we have:

2A + 3B = 4

Multiply the second equation by 2

2 * (2A + 3B = 4)

4A + 6B = 8

Subtract this equation from the first equation.

So, we have:

4A - 4A + 8B - 6B = 9 - 8

3B = 1

Divide both sides by 3

[tex]\mathbf{B = \frac 13}[/tex]

Substitute 1/3 for B in 2A + 3B = 4

[tex]\mathbf{2A + 3 \times \frac 13 = 4}[/tex]

2A + 1 = 4

Subtract 1 from both sides

2A = 3

Divide both sides by 2

[tex]\mathbf{A = 1\frac 12}[/tex]

This means that:

Plan A lasts for 1 and a half hour, while plan B lasts for 1/3 hour

the length of a rectangle is 5 more than twice its width. its perimeter is 70 cm. what is its area? show your solution

Answers

Answer:

[tex]250cm^2[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

length = 5 + 2w

width = w

P = Sum of all sides

P = 2 * (5 + 2w) + 2w

P = 10 + 4w + 2w

P = 6w + 10

Given Perimeter = 70cm

We substitute

6w + 10 = 70

6w = 70 - 10

6w = 60

w = 60/6

w = 10cm

Since length is 5 + 2w

length = 5 + (2 * 10)

length = 25cm

Area = lw

Area = 25 * 10

Area = [tex]250cm^2[/tex]

Answer:

let

Reina's family is taking a road trip. Their car can travel no more than 304 miles without needing to refill the gas tank. They have traveled 221 miles since they last filled the gas tank. Reina knows that the inequality representing this situation is 221 + x < 304. Select from the drop-down menu to correctly interpret the solution of this inequality. Reina's family can drive ______ more miles before they need to refill the gas tank.​

Answers

Solving the inequality, it is found that the correct interpretation of the solution is:

Reina's family can drive 83 more miles before they need to refill the gas tank.​

The amount x of miles they can still travel is modeled by the following inequality:

[tex]221 + x \leq 304[/tex]

To solve it, we treat it similarly to an equality, hence:

[tex]x \leq 304 - 221[/tex]

[tex]x \leq 83[/tex]

Hence:

Reina's family can drive 83 more miles before they need to refill the gas tank.​
