Answer: If the a and b of your formula mean how many hours it takes each

person, like a = 2 and b = 1, then the formula gives 3/2 or 1 hour and

30 minutes.  This is not reasonable, since one of the painters alone

could do it in 1 hour.  

Actually, your formula is UPSIDE DOWN. It should be (a*b)/(a+b).

Here's why.  

Let h be the number of hours it takes for the two of them to do it

together. The first person could do it all in a hours, but can paint

only a fraction of the wall working h hours. Assuming a constant rate

of painting, that fraction is h/a. That is, the first painter will

paint h/a of the wall in h hours.  

Similarly, the second painter will paint h/b of the wall in that time.

So, when will they be done? When the whole wall is painted, which

happens whenever those 2 fractions add up to 1.  

You need to solve the following equation:

 (h/a) + (h/b) = 1  

     h*b + h*a = a*b           Multiplying through by a*b

       h*(b+a) = a*b           Factoring out h

             h = (a*b)/(a+b)   Dividing both sides by b+a

Okay, now say 3 painters could do it in a hours, b hours or c hours,

respectively. Let h be the number of hours they all must work to get

it all painted. The first painter finishes h/a of the wall in that

amount of time. The other 2 painters manage to paint h/b of the wall

and h/c of the wall in that time.  Since h is the time to finish the

job, all 3 of these fractions must add up to the whole wall, or 1.  

So you have the equation:

       h     h     h        

      --- + --- + ---  =  1

       a     b     c    

Solve this for h (start by multiplying through by a*b*c) and you will

get the generalized formula for 3 painters. It's not the formula you

wrote above but I think you can finish it off.

Step-by-step explanation:

X is the unknown temp, which is the third day.  adding all those up and dividing that by 3 will give you the average. if the average is above 82F, then you just add a > symbol showing that its higher than 82F

They will need 4 buses.

The division in mathematics is one kind of operation. In this process, we split the expressions or numbers into the same number of parts.

Given:

For the class field trip,

the fourth grades at Jefferson Elementary School need to take buses.

Each bus fits 55 students,

and there are 200 students in fourth grade.

The number of buses,

= 200/55

= 3.63

≈ 4.

Therefore, the need is for 4 buses.

The value of this expression is:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression

[tex]\frac{xy^2}{-3}[/tex]

Apply the fraction rule: a/-b = -a/b

[tex]\frac{xy^2}{-3}=-\frac{xy^2}{3}[/tex]

substituting x = 5, y = 2 in the expression

      [tex]=-\frac{\left(5\right)\left(2\right)^2}{3}[/tex]

       [tex]=-\frac{\left(5\right)\left(4\right)}{3}\:[/tex]

       [tex]=-\frac{20}{3}[/tex]

Therefore, the value of this expression is:

Answer:

a)  1/10 x 5/10 = 1/20

b) 1/10 x 5/9 = 1/18

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Probability of selecting one biography and then one mystery, with replacement: 1/20

b) Probability of selecting one biography and then one mystery, without replacement: approximately 0.0556 or 5.56%.

The probability of each situation can be calculated as follows:

a) Selecting one biography and then one mystery, with replacement:

With replacement means that after each selection, the book is put back on the shelf before the next selection.

The probability of selecting the biography first is 1 out of 10 books (since there is 1 biography out of 10 books).

The probability of selecting the mystery book next is 5 out of 10 books (since there are 5 mysteries out of 10 books).

The overall probability is the product of the individual probabilities:

Probability = (1/10) * (5/10) = 1/20

So, the probability of selecting one biography and then one mystery, with replacement, is 1/20.

b) Selecting one biography and then one mystery, without replacement:

Without replacement means that after each selection, the book is not put back on the shelf before the next selection.

The probability of selecting the biography first is still 1 out of 10 books.

However, after selecting the biography, there are now 9 books left on the shelf, and the probability of selecting a mystery is 5 out of 9 books (since there are 5 mysteries out of the remaining 9 books).

The overall probability is the product of the individual probabilities:

Probability = (1/10) * (5/9) ≈ 0.0556 or 5.56%

So, the probability of selecting one biography and then one mystery, without replacement, is approximately 0.0556 or 5.56%.

The parent function of the graph is y = √x

The given graph is a graph of a square root function, that is translated upward by 3 units and right by 1 unit

This means that the equation of the graph is:

Answer:

0.66

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Let P(Throwing strike) = 0.35

So,

P(S') = 1 - 0.35 = 0.65

P(A / B) = P(A and B) / P(B)

P(Throwing fastball and thrown strike) = P(F / S) = 40% = 0.4

P(Throwing fastball  not thrown  strike) = P(F / S') = 80%

P(Throwing fastball  not thrown  strike) =0.8

So,

P(F and S) = 0.8 x 0.65

P(F and S) = 0.52

P(F) = [P(F / S) x P(S)] + [P(F / S') x P(S')]

= (0.4 x 0.35) + (0.8  x 0.65)

= 0.14 + 0.52

= 0.66

9.72 x 10^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

a) x = 14

b) The perimeter of △QRS is 77 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Due to the question asking for a solution using the Triangle Proportionality Theorem, it is assumed that △RQS is similar to the smaller triangle inside it.

Let us define the point at which the line inside △RQS meets line RQ as T, and the point at which that same line meets line RS as V.

Hence, △RTV ~ △RQS.

According to the Triangle Proportionality Theorem:

[tex]\frac{RT}{RQ} = \frac{TV}{QS} = \frac{VR}{SR}[/tex]

Hence, we can substitute all values that we know from the diagram:

[tex]\frac{2x - 2}{2x - 2 + 13} = \frac{TV}{17} = \frac{21 - 7}{21}[/tex]

After getting this information, all we have to do is simplify and solve the equation:

[tex]\frac{2x - 2}{2x - 2 + 13} = \frac{21 - 7}{21}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{2x - 2}{2x + 11} = \frac{14}{21}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{2x - 2}{2x + 11} = \frac{2}{3}[/tex]

[tex]3(2x - 2) = 2(2x + 11)[/tex]

[tex]6x - 6 = 4x + 22[/tex]

[tex]6x - 4x = 22 + 6[/tex]

[tex]2x = 28[/tex]

[tex]x = 14[/tex]

To verify this answer, we can plug in the value of x into the equation:

[tex]\frac{2(14) - 2}{2(14) - 2 + 13} = \frac{2}{3}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{26}{39} = \frac{2}{3}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{2}{3} = \frac{2}{3}[/tex]

Hence, after verification, we can get the answer: x = 14.

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

b) To find the perimeter of △QRS, all we have to do is to add all the lengths of the sides of △QRS together.

Hence, 2(14) - 2 + 13 + 17 + 21

= 28 - 2 + 13 + 17 + 21

= 77 units

Therefore, the perimeter of △QRS is 77 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

x² + 16x + 64 = (x + 8)². Hence p = 8.

Since (x + 8) is a factor of 4x² + 37x + k,

4(-8)² + 37(-8) + k = 0. (by Factor Theorem)

=> 256 - 296 + k = 0

=> k - 40 = 0

=> k = 40.

The value of k is 40.

1/4 hours is 1/3 of 3/4 hour.

In 1/4 hour he builds 1/3 of 1 1/2 cabinets which is half a cabinet.

In 1 hour he builds 4 times what he builds in 1/4 hour, 4 * 1/2 cabinet = 2 cabinets.

Answer:

The probability of obtaining the letter p twice is 1/121

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability of Recurring Events

There are 11 letters in the word 'independent', one of which is the letter 'p'.

When those letters are written on individual cards and they are put into a box, there are 11 different choices to pick at random.

This means the individual probability of getting a 'p' is:

[tex]\displaystyle P_1=\frac{1}{11}[/tex]

The card is reinserted into the box, leaving the sample space unaltered, thus the second card has the same probability:

[tex]\displaystyle P_2=\frac{1}{11}[/tex]

We'll use the multiplication rule. Just multiply the probability of the first event by the second.

[tex]\displaystyle P=P_1*P_2=\frac{1}{11}*\frac{1}{11}[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle P=\frac{1}{121}[/tex]

The probability of obtaining the letter p twice is 1/121
