An inlet pipe can fill a water tank in 12 hours. An outlet pipe can drain
the tank in 20 hours. If both pipes are mistakenly left open, how long will
it take to fill the tank?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:   30 hours

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

Explanation:

Let's consider the tank's full capacity is 240 gallons. I'm picking this number because 12*20 = 240.

If the tank is 240 gallons, then the inlet pipe can fill it at a rate of 240/12 = 20 gallons per hour. Note after 12 hours, we have 12*20 = 240 gallons filled assuming the outlet pipe is sealed shut.

At the same time, the outlet pipe is draining at a rate of 240/20 = 12 gallons per hour. After 20 hours, the outlet pipe would drain out 12*20 = 240 gallons assuming the inlet pipe is not adding any water.

With the two pipes playing this tug-of-war battle, the inlet pipe ultimately wins because it's adding more gallons of water each hour, compared to the amount drained per hour. The net change is +20-12 = 8 gallons per hour.

This means it will take 240/8 = 30 hours to fill the tank with both pipes open.

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

Another approach:

The inlet pipe can fill the tank in 12 hours, so it gets 1/12 of the job done per hour. The outlet pipe drains the tank in 20 hours, so it gets 1/20 of the job done in one hour.

The net change is 1/12 - 1/20 = 5/60 - 3/60 = 2/60 = 1/30

This means that when both pipes are open, 1/30 of the job is done per hour. By "job", I mean "filling the tank".

If x is the number of hours needed to do one full job, then we can multiply that by the unit rate (1/30) and set the result equal to 1

(rate)*(time) = 1 job

(1/30)*x = 1

x = 30*1

x = 30

It takes 30 hours to do the job with both pipes open.

Sara and 3 of her friends went to lunch one day. Each person paid for her own lunch, but they agreed to split the tip. If the tip amount was 15% of the total, and the 4 lunches totaled $60, what was the portion of each person’s tip amount?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step equation:

15% of 60 is nine.

Percentage is equivalent to the portion of a quantity present in the whole. The portion of each person’s tip amount shared by Sara and 3 of her friends is $2.65.

What is percentage?

A percentage is a value that indicates 100th part of any quantity.

To convert percentage into a fraction it is divided by 100.

Given that,

The amount of tip is 15% of the total amount A.

The total amount of 4 lunches = $60.

As per the question, the total amount can be written as,

15% of A = A - 60

=> 15 / 100 × A = A - 60  

=> A - (3 / 20) × A = 60

=> A - (3 / 20) × A = 60

=> (17 / 20) × A = 60

=> A = (60 × 20) / 17

=> A = 70.58

Now, the total amount of tip is,

15% of 70.58

(15 / 100) × 70.58 = 10.58

The tip shared by each friend = 10.58 ÷ 4

                                                 = 2.65

Hence, the portion of each person’s tip amount is $2.65.

Answers

The radius of the outer circle is 17 so you put that in the formula to find the area of a circle and solve to get 153.86 squared meters as the final answer. The radius of the inner circle is 7 because it shows that the upper part of the circle is 10 and the whole thing is 17, so you do 17-10 to get 7 as the radius. Then put it in the formula and get the final answer as 907.46 squared meters.

Station A and Station B are 120 miles apart. A train traveling from station A to station B travels exactly 1/3 of the distance when it is held up and stops for 16 minutes. When the train continues its journey, the engineer increases its average speed by 15 mph so that the train will arrive at station B on schedule. Find the average speed of the train before it stopped for 16 minutes.

Answers

Answer:

60

Step-by-step explanation:

60

The average speed of the train was 80mph.

What is equation?

An equation is a  mathematical statement that is made up of two expressions connected by an equal sign.

Here, Given that, Station A and Station B are 120 miles apart.

And, a train traveling from station A to station B travels exactly 1/3 of the distance when it is held up and stops for 16 minutes.

Let, its average speed was x mph.

Then, Total time if didn't stop = 120/x h

Now, before stop it took time =( 1/3×120)/x h =40/x h

After stop it took time = 80/(x+15) h

i.e. 40/x +16/60+ 80/(x+15) = 120/x

⇒80/(x+15)+8/30= 80/x

⇒80(1/x-1/(x+15))=8/30

⇒10×(15/x^2+15x)=1/30

⇒x^2+15x=10×15×30

⇒x^2+15x-450=0

⇒x^2+75x-60x-450=0

⇒(x+75)(x-60)=0

⇒x=60 or, x= -75

Hence. the required speed was 60mph.

The function y=-16x^2+16x+32 represents the height in feet of a firework x seconds after it is launched

Answers

Answer:

36feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are not asked what to find, we can as well find the maximum height reached by the rocket

At max height, velocity is zero

V = dy/dx = 0

dy/dx = -32x + 16

0 = -32x+16

32x = 16

x = 16/32

x = 0.5s

Get the maximum height

y = -16(0.5)^2+16(0.5) + 32

y = -4+8+32

y = 36feet

Hence the max height reached by the rocket is 36feet

A population numbers 15,500 and grows at 3.75% per year. Write an exponential model for the growth of this population.

Answers

Answer: [tex]f(x)=15500(1.0375)^x[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The exponential model for growth is given by :-

[tex]f(x)=A(1+r)^x[/tex], where A = initial value , r = growth rate (in decimal), x = time  (in years).

Given: A= 15,500      r= 3.75% = 0.0375

The exponential model for the growth of this population will be :

[tex]f(x)=15500(1+0.0375)^x\\\\\Rightarrow\ f(x)=15500(1.0375)^x[/tex]

hence, the required model: [tex]f(x)=15500(1.0375)^x[/tex]

Find the area of a regular octagon with an apothem of 8.45 cm and a side length of 7 cm. (round to the nearest whole number) A) 59 cm2 B) 118 cm2 C) 237 cm2 D) 473 cm2

Answers

Answer:

237

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the regular octagon is 237 cm^2

How to determine the area?

The given parameters are:

Apothem (a) = 8.45

Side length (s) = 7

Number of sides (n) = 8

The area of the regular octagon is then calculated as:

A = 0.5 * a * n * s

This gives

A = 0.5 * 8.45 * 8 * 7

Evaluate the product

A = 236.6

Approximate

A = 237

Hence, the area of the regular octagon is 237 cm^2
