Sara can weed a garden in 30 minutes. When her brother Hamdan helps her, they can weed the same garden in 20 minutes. How long would it take Hamdan to weed the garden if he

worked by himself?



a. Write an expression for Hamdan's rate, using n for the number of hours he would take to

weed the garden by himself.


b. Write an equation to show the amount of work completed when they work together.


c. How long would it take Hamdan to weed the garden by himself?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Let's define:

S as the rate at which Sara can weed a garden.

We know that:

S*30min = 1 garden

And let's define H as the rate at which Hamdan can weed a garden, we know that when they work together, they can complete the job in 20 minutes, then

(S + H)*20min = 1 garden

a) Here we get:

H*n = 1 garden

where n is the number of hours that he would take (note that in two previous equations we have minutes, so we need to use a change of units)

b) The equation is

(S + H)*20min = 1 garden

c) ok, we know two things:

(S + H)*20min = 1 garden

S*30min = 1 garden

first, let's convert both times to hours:

60 min = 1 hour

then:

30 min = (30/60) hours = 0.5 hours

20 min = (20/60) hours = 0.33 hours

Then the equations become:

(S + H)*0.33 hours = 1 garden

S*0.5 hours = 1 garden

Le's solve the second equation for S:

S = (1 garden /0,5 hours) = 2 gardens/hour.

Now we can replace this in the other equation to get:

(2 garden/hour + H)*0.33 hours = 1 garden

2 garden/hour + H = (1 garden)/(0.33 hours) = 3 gardens/ hour

H = 3 gardens/hour - 2 gardens/hour = 1 gardens/hour

This means that the rate of Hamdan is 1 gardens/hour, so he can weed a garden in one hour.

Then:

(1 garden/hour)*n = 1 garden

n = ( 1 garden)/((1 garden/hour)) = 1 hour

Sarah accepted a new job at a company with a contract guaranteeing annual raises. Sarah's salary after working for nn years can be determined using the equation S=90000+3500n.S=90000+3500n. What is the slope of the equation and what is its interpretation in the context of the problem?

Answers

Answer:

Slope = 3500

Sarah's salary will increase by 3500 per year

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Sarah's salary after working n years is given as :

S=90000+3500n

The equation given is similar to a linear equation :

y = bx + c ;

Where, b = slope of the linear equation

Therefore, relating the equation to that of a linear model ; the slope, b is equivalent to 3500 in Sarah's salary equation.

Slope is simply described as the rate of change, the change in y per unit change in x ;

Therefore, this means Sarah's salary will increase by 3500 per year

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the percentage of something we decide the amount of things we want to find the percentage off by the total amount of things and then multiply the product by one hundred.

Apple: 4

The Eastminster Widget Company has an old machine that can produce 36
widgets in 9 hours, and a newer machine that can produce 40 widgets in 8
hours. Working together, how long would it take to produce 100 widgets?

Answers

Answer:

22 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Old machine produces 36 widgets in 9 hours. The number of widgets produced in an hour can be determined as;

In 1 hour = [tex]\frac{36}{9}[/tex]

              = 4 widgets

New machine can produce 40 widgets in 8 hours. The umber of widgets produced in an hour can be determined as;

In 1 hour = [tex]\frac{40}{5}[/tex]

              = 5 widgets

Thus, let the time required by old machine be represented by s, and that of new machine by y. Working together we have;

4x + 5y = 100

(4 * 10) + (5 * 12) = 100

Thus the old machine would work for 10 hours, while the new machine would work for 12 hours to produce 100 widgets.

Working together, it would take both machines 22 hours.

Use the law of sines to find the measure of angle C.

Answers

C = 43.6 degrees (1 dp)

You cannot find C using the sine law without knowing one of the other angles.
In your previous question I showed you that A = 71.5
sin(C)/16 = sin(71.5...)/22
sin(C) = 16 x sin(71.5...)/22 = 0.68977...
C = sin^-1(0.68969) = 43.6 degrees

Here, if you use the law of sines, you cannot find the measure of the required angle. But if you use the law of cosines, you will get the desired result.

The measure of the angle C of the given triangle is 43.61°

What is the law of cosines?

According to the law of cosine, the square of any one side of a triangle is equal to the difference between the squares of the other two sides and double the product of the other sides and cosine angle added together between them. If AB, BC, and CA are lengths of the three sides of a triangle, then using the law of cosine, we can write

AB² = BC² + CA² - 2(BC)(CA)cos C.

How to solve this problem?

Here, AB = 16, BC = 22, and AC = 21.

Now, 16² = 22² + 21² - 2 * 22 * 21 * cos C

i.e. 256 = 484 + 441 - 924 * cos C

i.e. 256 - 925 = - 924 * cos C

i.e. - 669 = - 924 * cos C

i.e. cos C = 669/924 = 0.724

i.e. C = cos⁻¹(0.724) = 43.61

Therefore the measure of the angle C of the given triangle is 43.61°

7 th term and 14 th term of an Arithmetic sequence are 36 and 64 respectively , find the common difference and ,25th term

Answers

Answer:

(a) The common difference is 4

(b) The 25th term is 108

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]T_7 = 36[/tex]

[tex]T_{14} = 64[/tex]

Solving (a): The common difference

The nth term of an AP is:

[tex]T_n = a + (n -1)d[/tex]

For the 7th term, we have:

[tex]36 = a + (7 -1)d[/tex]

[tex]36 = a + 6d[/tex]

For the 14th term, we have:

[tex]64 =a + (14 -1)d[/tex]

[tex]64 =a + 13d[/tex]

Subtract both equations

[tex]64 - 36 = a - a +13d-6d[/tex]

[tex]28 = 7d[/tex]

Divide by 7

[tex]d = 4[/tex]

Solving (b): The 25th term

First, we calculate the first term (a)

The 7th term of the progression is:

[tex]36 = a + 6d[/tex]

Substitute [tex]d = 4[/tex]

[tex]36 = a + 6 * 4[/tex]

[tex]36 = a + 24[/tex]

Subtract 24

[tex]a = 36 -24[/tex]

[tex]a = 12[/tex]

The 25th term is:

[tex]T_{25} = a + (25 - 1)d[/tex]

[tex]T_{25} = 12 + (25 - 1)*4[/tex]

[tex]T_{25} = 12 + 24*4[/tex]

[tex]T_{25} = 108[/tex]

s = length of square = diameter of circle = 2*r = 2*6.2

s = 12.4 cm
