Answer:A contractor finds that Crew A takes 5(1/2) hours to construct a retaining wall and Crew B can do the same job in 7(1/2) hours.
If Crew A and Crew B work together, how long will it take them to construct the retaining wall?
a) Let h = the time to complete the job. Write the equation you would use to solve this problem.
:
let the completed job = 1, each will do a fraction of the job which adds up to 1
h%2F5.5 + h%2F7.5 = 1
Step-by-step explanation:f means fraction 2/5.5 2/7.5
Final answer:
Together, they will complete the wall in approximately 3.34 hours (about 3 hours and 20 minutes).
Explanation:
To determine how long it will take for crew A and crew B to construct a retaining wall together, we can use the concept of rates of work. We first find the rate at which each crew can complete the job individually and then combine their rates.
Crew A takes 5.5 hours to construct the retaining wall, which means their rate of work is 1 wall per 5.5 hours or 1/5.5 walls per hour.
Crew B takes 8.5 hours, so their rate is 1 wall per 8.5 hours or 1/8.5 walls per hour.
When both crews work together, you can add their rates:
Rate of A + Rate of B = Combined Rate
1/5.5 + 1/8.5 = Combined Rate
To find the combined rate, you find a common denominator and add the fractions:
Combined Rate = (8.5 + 5.5) / (5.5 × 8.5)
Combined Rate = 14 / 46.75
The combined rate is approximately 0.2995 walls per hour. To find the total time it takes for both crews to construct the wall, you take the reciprocal of the combined rate:
Total time = 1 / Combined Rate
Total time = 1 / 0.2995
This gives us the total time of approximately 3.34 hours (or roughly 3 hours and 20 minutes) for both crews working together to construct the retaining wall.

Write in equation that represents the line
Answer:
y = 6/5x -5
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the slope formula,
you can find the slope
or just divide the amount of units up by
the amount of units right.
Then find the y intercept which is (0,5)
Answer:
y = [tex]\frac{6}{5}[/tex]x -5
Step-by-step explanation:
Whenever we have a line such as this one, (A linear or straight line) we can write an equation with the form y = mx + b
m is the slope
b is the y-intercept
To calculate slope or "m" we see how many times the point goes up, and how many times it goes to the right, and then put it in a fraction.
(Units it goes up) / (Units it goes to the right)
The y-intercept is what number the line intersects on the y-axis.
On this line it intersects at the -5 point.
So the equation when you put in the values is y = [tex]\frac{6}{5}[/tex]x -5

Step-by-step explanation:
English translation:
An employee receives a commission equivalent to 5% of your salary, X. What
expression represents the total money that will receive the employee?
Solution:
We have to find the expression that gives us the total money of the employee. His total money is what he gets, the salary, PLUS the commissions.
His salary is "x"
and his commissions is 5% of his salary.
5% = 5/100 = 0.05
So,
Commissions = 0.05x
Total Money = Salary + Commission = x + 0.05x = 1.05x

When we graph the function, it has a vertex of (3, 16).
The maximum of the graph is the highest "x" value on the graph which is 3.
Since the maximum is 3, it will take 3 seconds for the ball to reach its maximum height.
A graph will be shown below showing the function and vertex.
Best of Luck!
Answer:
3 seconds
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to find where the maximum i. The maximum or minimum is at the vertex. We know where the zero are because the equation is written in the zero form
We know the vertex is 1/2 way between the zeros
h(x)=-(x+1)(x-7)
Using the zero product property
x+1 = 0 x-7 =0
The zeros are at -1 and 7
Adding the two together and dividing by 2
(-1+7)/2 = 6/2 =3
The maximum is at 3. We know it is the maximum because the equation is pointing down because of the negative out front.

7/12.
Step-by-step explanation:
The total possible outcomes = 6*6 = 36.
Possible outcomes for a total 8 or greater are :
2,6 6,2 3,5 5,3 3,6 6,3 4,4 4,5 5,4 4,6 6,4 5,5, 5,6 6,5 6,6 = 15.
So the number of outcomes for a sum < 8 = 36 - 15 = 21.
Answer is 21/36 = 7/12.
April has a sheet of paper that is 2 feet long. She cuts the length of paper into halves and then cuts the length of each of these 1/2 pieces into thirds. How many pieces does she have? How many inches long is each piece?
April has a total of 6 pieces of paper, with each piece being 4 inches long after she cuts the 2-foot paper into halves and then into thirds.
To solve this problem, we need to perform two cuts. The initial length of the paper is 2 feet. When April cuts the length of paper into halves, she now has two pieces each of 1 foot in length. Then, she cuts each of these halves into thirds. To find out how many pieces she has in total, we multiply 2 halves by 3, resulting in 6 pieces of paper in total.
To determine the length of each piece in inches, we start with the original measurement in feet. Since 1 foot is equivalent to 12 inches, we convert the 1-foot pieces to inches by multiplying by 12. Then, we divide by 3 to represent the three cuts that April makes:
1 foot = 12 inches
Each cut piece = 12 inches / 3
Each piece is 4 inches long.

Please give brainliest
The system of inequalities consists of x > 6 and x < 3, which have no overlapping solution. No number can satisfy both conditions simultaneously; hence, there is no solution to the system.
To solve the given system of inequalities, let's solve each inequality separately:
For the first inequality 2x - 12 > 0, we add 12 to both sides to get:
2x > 12
Now, we divide both sides by 2:
x > 6
This inequality means that x must be greater than 6.
For the second inequality 3x < 9, we divide both sides by 3:
x < 3
This tells us that x must be less than 3.
If we look at both solutions, x > 6 and x < 3, there is no overlap between these two sets of numbers.
Therefore, there is no solution to the system, since no number can be both greater than 6 and less than 3 at the same time.
Heather also buys 12 patio lights for $63. She estimates the cost of each light to be about $5.
She then calculates the actual cost of each light to be $2.40. Use the drop-down
boxes to explain whether her calculation is reasonable
Answer: yes her calculations were reasonable because : 63/12=5.25
Step-by-step explanation:
Final answer:
Heather's estimation that each light costs about $5 is closer to the actual cost of $5.25 per light. Her calculated cost of $2.40 per light is not reasonable as it significantly underestimates the actual cost.
Explanation:
The question is asking whether Heather's calculation for the actual cost of each patio light is reasonable. Initially, Heather estimated each light to cost about $5, but after calculation, she found the cost to be $2.40. To verify this, we can divide the total cost by the number of lights. So, the calculation is as follows:
Total cost for 12 lights = $63
Actual cost per light = Total cost / Number of lights
Actual cost per light = $63 / 12
Actual cost per light = $5.25
Based on this calculation, Heather's estimate of $5 per light was closer to the actual cost, which is $5.25 per light. Therefore, her calculation of $2.40 per light is not reasonable as it is quite far from the actual calculated cost.

[tex]y^4 + 9[/tex]: This is not a difference, it's a sum.
[tex]9x^2 - 16[/tex]: This is a difference of squares because [tex]9x^2 = (3x)^2[/tex] and 16 = [tex]4^2[/tex].
[tex]m^6 - 25[/tex]: This is a difference of squares because [tex]m^6 = (m3)^2[/tex] and [tex]25 = 5^2[/tex].
[tex]p^7 - 1[/tex]: This is not a difference of perfect squares; [tex]p^7[/tex] is not a perfect square.
Therefore, the binomials that are a difference of squares are [tex]9x^2 - 16[/tex] and [tex]m^6 - 25[/tex].
Suppose 80% of people can swim. Suppose 70% of people can
whistle. Suppose 55% of people can do both. What percentage of people
can swim or whistle?
Answer:
95%
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the proportion who can swim be denoted by P(S) while the proportion that can whistle be denoted by P(W)
The proportion that can swim and whistle will be P(S and W)
The proportion that can swim or whistle will be P(S or W)
To get the proportion that can swim or whistle will be P(S or W), we use
P(S or W)=P(S)+P(W)-P(S and W)
Given that P(W) is 70%, P(S) is 80% and P(S andW) is 55% then
P(S or W)=80%+70%-55%=95%

The diameter of a penny is 19.05 mm and the thickness is 1.52 mm what is the approximate volume of the role of Penny to the nearest 10th
The volume of a cylinder is the area of the base circle times the height.
The area of a circle is [tex]\pi r^2[/tex]. Since the diameter is 19.05, the radius will be half that diameter:
[tex]r=\dfrac{d}{2}=\dfrac{19.05}{2}=9.525[/tex]
So, the base area is
[tex]A=\pi(9.525)^2[/tex]
Multiply this by the thickness and you'll get the volume.
Final answer:
The approximate volume of a roll of pennies can be calculated using the volume formula for a cylinder, considering the diameter and thickness of a penny, converting measurements to the same units, and then multiplying by the number of pennies in a roll.
Explanation:
To solve for the approximate volume of a roll of pennies, we can use the formula for the volume of a cylinder, which is V = πr^2h, where r is the radius and h is the height of the cylinder. In this case, the diameter of a penny is given as 19.05 mm, which means the radius is half of that, 9.525 mm or 0.9525 cm. The thickness of each penny is 1.52 mm or 0.152 cm. If we assume a roll of 50 pennies, the height of the roll would be 50 times the thickness of one penny.
First, we convert the radius into centimeters by dividing by 10: 0.9525 cm. Then we use the formula to calculate the volume: V = π * (0.9525 cm)^2 * (0.152 cm * 50), which provides the volume of the roll of pennies. As the question asks to approximate the volume to the nearest tenth, we can perform this calculation and round the result accordingly.
Volume calculation and unit conversion are crucial elements in this type of problem. Moreover, the accuracy of the estimation is important, which should be within an acceptable range like 5%.

After leaving camp for a three-day journey into the frozen tundra, Daniela has just returned to camp. The
three days of her journey can be described by displacement (distance and direction) vectors d , d), and dz.
where each vector indicates Daniela's displacement from the start of her day to the end of her day.
di = 8i +3
d, is not given
az = i +47
(Distances are given in kilometers, km.)
What distance did Daniela travel on day two?
kilometers
(Round your final answer to the nearest tenth.)
In what direction did Daniela travel on day two? Assume 0° is the rightward direction.
(Round your final answer to the nearest degree. Your answer should be between 0 and 360°.)
Answer:
a) 8.7 km
b) 187.6°
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Travel vectors (distance)∠(direction) ...
d₁ = 8∠3°d₂ = unknownd₃ = 1∠47°total travel was a round tripFind
(Rounded to the nearest tenth ...)
a) |d₂|
b) ∠d₂
Solution
In order for the sum of the three travel vectors to represent a round trip, their sum must be zero. That is, the value of d₂ must be the opposite of the sum of the other two vectors. A vector calculator can find the desired value easily. Here, we will show the calculation using the law of cosines and the law of sines.
__
a) A diagram can be helpful. Since we want to find the opposite of the sum of the given vectors, we can start by drawing their sum. In our diagram, d₁ is segment AB, and d₃ is segment BC. Their sum is the segment AC.
The internal angle ABC is the supplement of the difference of the angles for d₁ and d₃, so is 180° -(47° -3°) = 136°. Then the law of cosines gives length AC as ...
AC² = AB² +BC² -2AB·BC·cos(B)
AC² = 8² +1² -2·8·1·cos(136°) = 65 -16cos(136°) ≈ 76.5094
AC ≈ √76.5094 ≈ 8.747
The distance traveled on day 2 is about 8.7 km.
__
b) Given the side lengths of a triangle and one angle, the law of sines can be used to find the other angles. Here, it is convenient to find the internal angle at A. The law of sines tells us ...
sin(A)/BC = sin(B)/AC
sin(A) = BC/AC·sin(B)
A = arcsin(BC/AC·sin(B)) = arcsin(1/8.747·sin(136°)) ≈ 4.555°
The direction angle from C to A will be the sum of the 3° direction angle of AB and the internal triangle angle A we just found, added to 180°. That sum is ...
∠CA = 180° +3° +4.6° = 187.6°
∠d₂ = 187.6°

Distance traveled 8.6 kilometers on day two
