Sally can paint a room in 5 hours while it takes Steve 7 hours to paint the same room. How long will it take them to paint the room if they work together?


(Type an integer or decimal rounded to one decimal place as needed)

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:  2.9 hours approximately

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

Explanation:

Let's say the room has walls and ceiling of 350 sq ft in total area.

Sally can paint this area in 5 hours when working alone, so her unit rate is 350/5 = 70 sq ft per hour.

Steve needs 7 hours to do the same job when working alone, so his unit rate is 350/7 = 50 sq ft per hour.

Assuming the two people can work together without hindering each other (i.e. without getting in each other's way), then the two unit rates combine to 70+50 = 120 sq ft per hour.

Divide the total area over this combined unit rate

350/120 = 2.91667 approximately

This rounds to 2.9

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

Alternatively, you can solve the equation

[tex]\frac{1}{5} + \frac{1}{7} = \frac{1}{x}[/tex]

And you should get roughly x = 2.9

When we factor this equation the correct answer would be "-2x(7 + 6x)". But why would "2x(-7-6x)" be wrong?

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

Although it is right,

The rule is that we stop factoring, if we can't factor out a constant that isn't 1.

In your example, we can still factor out-1.

The factorization 2x(-7-6x) is not wrong because distributing the outer 2x to each term inside gets us

2x times -7 = -14x2x times -6x = -12x^2

which leads back to -14x-12x^2

Therefore, 2x(-7-6x) = -14x - 12x^2 is true.

Convention usually has us pull out the negative so the terms inside are all positive. This is just a practice done. There technically isn't any right way vs wrong way to factor, when we compare the two different factorizations. I think it's more of a subjective style than anything.

The final question on Walter's science exam was an essay question. Walter's essay
was 175 words long. This was 5 times more words than the minimum number of
required words. Which equation can be used to find n, the minimum number of
required words?
A 5 + n = 175
B 5 x 175 = n
C 175 - 5 = n
D5n = 175

Answers

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

If n=minimum number of required words and the essay is 175 words long which is 5 times more words than the minimum number of required words, you multiply n with 5 and equate to 175. To get n, you divide 175 with 5(175/5) which is 35 words.

In Diagram 5, POQ is the diameter of the circle with centre O .Find the area, in cm², of the shaded region. Use 22/7

Answers

Answer:

B) 236.25

Step-by-step explanation:

POQ is a diameter of circle with centre O having diameter 21 cm. Whereas radius is 21/2 cm (as radius is considered as half of the diameter).

Assume that the tip of the triangle that touches the circle is point 'N'. So,

NO = radius = 21/2 cm

At present time we have a triangle of radius or height 21/2 cm, base 21 cm is enclosed in circle of diameter 21 cm. And are asked to find the area of the remaining region or you can say asked to find area of the shaded region.

Shaded region = Area of Circle - Area of Triangle

= πr² - 1/2 × b × h

= 22/7 × 21/2 × 21/2 - 1/2 × 21 × 21/2

= 21/2 × 1/2 [ 22/7 × 21 - 21 ]

= 21/4 [ 22 × 3 - 21 ]

= 21/4 [ 66 - 21 ]

= 21/4 [ 45 ]

= 21 × 11.25

= 236.25

Hence, the area of the shaded region is 236.25 cm².

Answers

To identify the shape with one pair of parallel sides, we need to consider the given set of numbers: 3, 5, 8, 2, 6.

A shape with one pair of parallel sides is a trapezoid. In a trapezoid, two sides are parallel while the other two sides are non-parallel.

Looking at the given set of numbers, we can form the sides of a trapezoid by pairing the numbers in the following way: 3, 5, 8, 2, 6.

The sides of the trapezoid can be represented as follows:

Parallel sides: 3 and 5 (forming the top and bottom sides)

Non-parallel sides: 8, 2, 6 (forming the slanted sides)

Therefore, the given set of numbers forms a trapezoid with one pair of parallel sides.

You are buying carpet to cover a room that measures 42 ft by 42 ft. The carpet cost $ 25 per square yard. How much will the carpet cost?

Answers

Answer:  4900 dollars

Explanation:

3 feet = 1 yard

14*(3 feet) = 14*(1 yard) .... multiply both sides by 14

42 feet = 14 yards

The carpet is 14 yards by 14 yards.

Its area is 14*14 = 196 square yards.

Since it costs $25 per square yard, this means the total cost is 25*196 = 4900 dollars

At a high school football game, the amount of concession items sold over the first 5 weeks of the season is shown below.

Answers

Based on the quantity of the various items sold at the concession stand, the items that show a linear relationship include:

Hot dogs.Nachos.

Why are these items showing a linear relationship?

Items that show a linear relationship are those that are either increasing or decreasing by the same amount overtime.

Change in Hotdogs:

= 142 - 131                                 =  120 - 109

= 11                                             = 11

Hotdogs are changing by the same amount.

Change in Soft drinks:

= 161 - 154                                                       = 147 - 133

= 7                                                                   = 14

Change in Pretzels

= 96 - 64                                    = 120 - 112

= 32                                            = 8

Change in Nachos:

= 111 - 97                                         =  153 - 139

= 14                                                 = 14

Therefore, the only items that are linear are the Hotdogs and Nachos.

The diamond rule creates a system of equation for variables m and n

The possible values of m and n are 8 and 4 or 4 and 8

How to determine the possible values of m and n.

The question is incomplete; so I will make use of the attached figure

When the diamond rule is applied to the figure, we have the following equations

[tex]mn = 32[/tex]

[tex]m + n = 12[/tex]

Make n the subject, in the second equation

[tex]n = 12 - m[/tex]

The first equation becomes

[tex](12 - m)m = 32[/tex]

Expand

[tex]12m - m^2 = 32[/tex]

Rewrite as:

[tex]-m^2 + 12m - 32 = 0[/tex]

Multiply through by -1

[tex]m^2 - 12m + 32 = 0[/tex]

Expand

[tex]m^2 - 4m - 8m + 32 = 0[/tex]

Factorize

[tex]m(m - 4) - 8(m - 4) = 0[/tex]

Factorize

[tex](m - 8)(m - 4) = 0[/tex]

Solve for m

m = 8 or m = 4

Recall that:

[tex]n = 12 - m[/tex]

So, we have:

n = 12 - 8 or n = 12 - 4

Solve

n = 4 or n = 8

Hence, the possible values of m and n are 8 and 4 or 4 and 8 (using the attached figure)

Answers

Answer:

#1) A

#2) B

#3) C

#5) A

#7) D

#10) D

#11) D

#14) A

#15) D

#16) A

#19) D

Step-by-step explanation:

#1) If the data set is linear, the slope will be constant throughout the entire data set. For data set A, the slope between the first two points is:

m = (y₂-y₁)/(x₂-x₁) = (1--2)/(3-1) = 3/2

Between the second two points,

m=(4-1)/(5-3) = 3/2

Between the third pairs of points,

m=(7-4)/(7-5) = 3/2

The slope is constant throughout the entire set. The set is also increasing; as x increases, y increases as well.

#2) Substituting 4 for y and 1 for x,

y = (x+1)²

4 = (1+1)² = 2²

9 = (1+2)² = 3²

16 = (1+3)² = 4²

This works for each point, so this is the solution.

#3) Since he runs 10 laps per hour t, this is 10t. Adding the first lap to this, we get y=10t+1.

#5) If a sequence is arithmetic, each term is found by adding a constant (called the common difference) to the previous term. If the common difference is 2, this means that 2 was added each time. This only works for choice A.

#7) For x to vary directly as y, this means that y/x = k; in other words, the quotient of y and x is constant for every point.

#10) The formula for slope is:

m=(y₂-y₁)/(x₂-x₁)

Using the information we're given, we have

3=(d-5)/(4-2)

3=(d-5)/2

Multiply both sides by 2:

3*2 = ((d-5)/2)*2

6 = d-5

Add 5 to both sides:

6+5 = d-5+5

11 = d

#11) Using point slope form,

y-y₁ = m(x-x₁)

y-1 = 3(x--2)

y-1 = 3(x+2)

Using the distributive property,

y-1 = 3*x + 3*2

y-1 = 3x + 6

Add 1 to both sides:

y-1+1 = 3x+6+1

y=3x+7

#14) If two lines are parallel, they have the same slope. The slope of the given equation is 4; the only one with a slope of 4 is A.

#15) If two lines are perpendicular, they have slopes that are negative reciprocals (opposite signs and flipped). The slope of the given equation is 2; this means the slope of the perpendicular line would be -1/2. The only one with this slope is D.

#16) The two equations are not the same, so there are not infinitely many solutions. The variables do not both cancel, so there is at least one solution. This only leaves one solution as the answer.

#19) Using 1 for 7 and 4 for x, we check each equation. The only one that comes out correct is D.
