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.

What is Unitary Method?

The unitary technique involves first determining the value of a single unit, followed by the value of the necessary number of units.

For example, Let's say Ram spends 36 Rs. for a dozen (12) bananas.

12 bananas will set you back 36 Rs. 1 banana costs 36 x 12 = 3 Rupees.

As a result, one banana costs three rupees. Let's say we need to calculate the price of 15 bananas.

This may be done as follows: 15 bananas cost 3 rupees each; 15 units cost 45 rupees.

Given:

Mr. Simpson feeds his dog 1⁄2 of a cup of dog food each day.

Total cups of food= 4

So, 4 cups of dog food lasts

= 4/ (1/2)

= 4 x2

= 8

Hence, the dog food last for 8 days.

Tan(x) *cos(x)*cos(x)= ( the answer should have sin only ) ASAP

Answers

This doesn't make any sense because you didn't give a value to cos like you did to sin.

Let me guess the actual question is tan(x)*cos(x) write this in term of sin.

Now from trigonometry identities, we know that tan(x)=sin(x)/cos(x)

So the expression can be written as sin(x)/cos(x)*cos(x)

which results in sin(x) as the answer, if I guessed the question wrong, sorry and please tell me in the comments what the correct question is, because this question doesn't seem complete :)

Write the equations of the line that passes through the point 4,3) and is perpendicular to the line y=2x−4 . Write the equation in slope-intercept form.

Answers

Answer:

        y = -¹/₂x + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The product of slopes of perpendicular lines is -1

y = 2x − 4  ⇒   m₁ = 2

m₁m₂ = -1

2m₂ = -1

m₂ = -¹/₂

The Point-Slope form of equation of a line with slope of "m" and passing through point (x₁, y₁) is:  y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

m = -¹/₂

(4, 3)  ⇒  x₁ = 4,  y₁ = 3

So the equation in point-slope form:

                                                  y - 3 = -¹/₂(x - 4)

Therefore:

y - 3 = -¹/₂x + 2

y = -¹/₂x + 2 + 3

y = -¹/₂x + 5

What is word problem?

Word problems are often described verbally as instances where a problem exists and one or more questions are posed, the solutions to which can be found by applying mathematical operations to the numerical information provided in the problem statement.

Let for x number of picture, the total cost will cost be the same at each shop.

Total cost of x number of picture on Photos fast shop = $ (2.50 + 0.05x)

Total cost of x number of picture on Photos quick shop =  $ (3.70 + 0.03x)

according to the question:

(2.50 + 0.05x) = (3.70 + 0.03x)

0.05x - 0.03x = 3.70 - 2.50

0.02x = 1.20

x = 1.20 ÷ 0.02

x = 60

Hence, for 60 number of picture, the total cost will cost be the same at each shop.

Given fg(2) = 9 and gf (1/2) = 2, find the value of a and of b. ​

hiii this is adddmath can anyone help with this please

Answers

Answer:

fg(2) = 9 means that f(g(2)) = 9

We know that g(2) = 6

So f(6) = 9 which means that

6a - b = 9 (note 1)

And we know that g(f(1/2)) = 2

And we know that f(1/2) = 1/2(a) - b

So g(1/2(a) - b) = 2

Meaning that 1/2(a) - b + 4 = 2

So 1/2(a) - b = - 2 (note 2)

Using note 1 and 2 we can solve the equation

11/2(a) = 11 so a = 2 and b = 3

Where do you start if you want to grow your own healthy food? Start with the soil. If this is your first adventure in gardening, start small. Choose plants that are easy to tend and that will grow well in the soil you have. Deciding what to grow is the first step and it will help decide how big of a garden you want. Not all plants grow in the same way. You have to consider which plants prefer sunlight and which prefer shade. This will help with picking the best spot for your garden. Once you have decided where you will plant your garden, you can move on to planning your garden's layout. You don't want your tall plants growing next to the shorter ones and blocking out the sun. You also want to make sure there is enough room between the rows to allow for weeding. Proper planning makes planting a breeze. Passage B It is more expensive to build a green roof than it is to lay asphalt or shingles on a roof, but the trend is growing. The basic green roof requires a frame, waterproof membrane, gravel for drainage, fibrous material to retain moisture, soil for planting, and a barrier that prevents roots from penetrating the building. Green roofs started in Europe and are now gaining a strong foothold in the United States. The largest green roof in New York City is built on the roof of a processing and distribution facility. It is actually the biggest green roof in the country. Being in New York, it has faced snow, rain, freezing, and thawing. It has survived it all. The city of Chicago, Illinois, now has more green roofs than any other U.S. city. There are 7 million square feet of green roofs planted across the city. Toronto, Canada, is the first city in the western hemisphere to mandate green roofs on all new tall buildings. Green roofs are beneficial, not only to the environment, but also to the cities that build them. A recent study in Toronto suggested that if 75 percent of the flat roofs were greened, the city could save $37 million a year on storm water management and energy bills.Explain why people are building green roofs to live healthier lives.
