It takes 10 mins to fill a bath with just the hot tap and 15 minutes to fill it just with the cold tap.

How long wikll it take to fill the bath if you run both taps at once?

Please give a equation or the steps of solving, thanks a lot!

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:   6 minutes

===========================================================

Explanation:

Let's say the tub is 30 gallons. I'm picking this number because it's the LCM of 10 and 15. Picking the LCM means that later division operations result in a whole number.

The hot tap takes 10 minutes to fill the tub. Its rate is 30/10 = 3 gallons per minute.

Rate = (amount done)/(time)

The cold tap works at a rate of 30/15 = 2 gallons per minute.

When both taps are running at the same time, they combine to a total rate of 3+2 = 5 gallons per minute. Therefore, it will take 30/5 = 6 minutes if both taps are opened.

Time = (amount done)/(rate)

-------------------------

Another approach:

The hot water tap takes 10 minutes to do 1 job. That "1 job" refers to "fill the bathtub". The unit rate here is 1/10 of a job per minute.

Meanwhile, the cold tap has a unit rate of 1/15 of a job per minute.

The combined rate is 1/10 + 1/15 = 3/30+2/30 = 5/30 = 1/6 of a job per minute.

x = number of minutes it takes to fill the bathtub if both taps are going at once.

We can say:

(unit rate)*(time) = amount done

(1/6 of a job per min)*(x minutes) = 1 job

(1/6)x = 1

x = 6 minutes is the final answer

-------------------------

Another approach:

The template for problems like this is:

1/A + 1/B = 1/C

where

A = amount of time for the hot tap water (working alone)B = amount of time for the cold tap water (working alone)C = amount of time if the two taps work together

We end up with the equation

1/10 + 1/15 = 1/x

This can be rearranged into

(1/10+1/15)x = 1

and also rearrange into

(1/6)x = 1

Follow the steps mentioned earlier to end up with 6 minutes as the final answer

Step-by-step explanation:

(45 - 32) / 32) * 100 = 40.63 %

To round 40.63 to the nearest whole number consider the tenths’ value of 40.63, which is 6 and equal to or more than 5. Therefore, we have to round up: the whole number part of 40.63, 40, increases by 1 to 41, and the decimal point and all digits (.63) are removed...

40.63 rounded to the nearest whole number = 41

V = w h l = 4m x 4m x 7m = 112m3

Lastly, you add the volume of both prisms to get your answer.

[tex](7a \cdot 5b) \div 6c \cdot 2d[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

If there is both multiplication and division in an expression and no parentheses, you start solving from left to right. Since in the expression [tex]7a \cdot 5b \div 6c \cdot 2d[/tex] you would start by solving [tex]7a \cdot 5b[/tex], (because it's at the leftmost part of the expression) it won't matter whether you put parentheses around [tex]7a \cdot 5b[/tex] or not. Therefore, the expression [tex](7a \cdot 5b) \div 6c \cdot 2d[/tex] is equivalent to [tex]7a \cdot 6b \div 6c \cdot 2d[/tex].

What is the area of this polygon?

Answers

Answer:

258 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

seperate the polygon into two boxes that way u have one big box that is 21 ft in width and 8 ft in height. Then multiply 21*8 to find the area of the box which is 168.

for the other box you can find the height by subtracting 18 ft and 8 ft from the first box which gives a height of 10 ft. To find the wisth you have to subtract 21-12 which is 9. Now you can multiply 10*9=90

Add the two boxes together:

90+168=258

The Area of the Polygon is 258 ft.

Answer: 2/15 and 9/10

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up cross-multiplication.

If Michelle reads 1/3 book in 2 1/2 hours, she reads X in 1 hour.

                      1/3          2 1/2

                          x           1

1/3 = 2 1/2 x

divide by 2 1/2

1/3 divided by 2 1/2 = convert 2 and a half to 5/2

1/3 divided by 5/2 - keep, change, flip. (your teacher should have covered a method like that)

1/3 times 2/5 is 2/15.

For question 2, lets do the same thing.

3/5 times 2/3 equals x times 1

3/5 times 1 is 3/5

2/3 times x is 2/3x

(this looks better on paper)

3/5=2/3x

if the equation is 9=3(x+2), what does x equal?

Answers

9=3(x+2)
9=3x+6
3x=3
x=1

Answer:

1

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for x, we can isolate x on one side of the equation by undoing the operation of the expression inside the parentheses. To do this, we need to subtract 2 from both sides of the equation:

9 = 3(x + 2)

9 = 3x + 6

3 = 3x

Finally, we divide both sides by 3 to obtain:

x = 1

So, the value of x is 1.

Answer:

21

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a triangle is (1/2) * base * height. In this case, the base is the distance between (-5, -2) and (1, -2), meaning it's 6 units. The height is the distance from (-3, 5) to the line y = -2, so the height is 7 units. So, the area is (1/2) * 6 * 7 = 21 square units

21 because the base is 6 and height is 7

In the morning, the temperature was

10°C. By the afternoon, it had risen to

2°C. What was the change in temperature from the morning to the afternoon?

Answers

Answer:

Change in temperature is +8° C

Step-by-step explanation:

Change in temperature = Final temperature - Initial temperature:

                                =ΔT = [tex]F_{T} - I_{T}[/tex]

                                        = (- 2° C)- (- 10° C)

                                        = [tex]- 2 + 10[/tex]

Change in temperature  = + 8° C

If in the morning is was 10 degrees C then that means the temperature dropped 8 degrees C by the time it was the afternoon, but if it was 2 degrees C in the morning, that means it rose 8 degrees by the afternoon
