Answer: Option C)1 over 15 minus 1 over x equals 1 over 20
Explanation:
Since, Micah can fill a box with books in 15 minutes.
Therefore, the work done by Micah in one minute= 1/15
Also, Sydney takes the books out puts them on a shelf.
And the times taken by Micah when Sydney is also taking the books outside from the self= 20 minutes
Therefore, the work done by Micah in one minute when Sydney taking books out of the box= 1/20
Let Sydney alone takes x minutes to take books outsides the shelf.
Then, work done by Sydney in one minute=1/x
Thus, the work done by Sydney( by taking books out of the box)= the work done by Micah - work done by Micah and Sydney simultaneously= 1/15-1/20
⇒1/x=1/15-1/20
⇒1/15-1/20=1/x
⇒1/15-1/x=1/20 is the required expression.
Therefore, Option C is correct.
Answer:
Option A.) 20 pounds of walnuts and 25 pounds of almonds is correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
i) let x be the the number of pounds of almonds
ii) let y be the number of pounds of walnuts
iii) therefore x + y = 45 pounds of the mixture
iv) 1.2x + 0.75y = 1.00 45 = 45
v) Multipling equation in iv) by 4 we get
4.8x + 3y = 180
vi) multiplying equation in iii) by 3 we get
3x + 3y = 135
vii) subtracting equation vi) from equation v) we get 1.8x = 45
ix) therefore we get x = 45/1.8 = 25 pounds of almonds
x) therefore 25 + y = 45 .... substituting value of x from ix) in iii) we get
therefore y = 20 pounds of walnuts
Therefore option A.) 20 pounds of walnuts and 25 pounds of almonds is correct.
Answer:
3²
Step-by-step explanation:
We have to use BPEMDAS Order of Operations:
B - Brackets
P - Parenthesis
E - Exponents
M - Multiply
D - Divide
A - Addition
S - Subtraction
We use this order left to right. Since we have parenthesis, we look at that first. Inside, we have division and exponents. Since exponents come first, we have to evaluate 3² first.
three squared minus two thirds
three square = 3 x 3 = 9
Least common factor of 1 and 3 is 3
Three squared minus two third is twenty five by three.
