Answer:

x=22.5 lb

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to do the bucket method

x=Gumdrops

$1.20+$2.00=$1.50

60-x  +x  = 60 lb

(60-x)*1.2+ 2*x=1.5*60

Solve for X

72-1.2x+2x=90

<u>-72              -72</u>

0-1.2x+2x=18

0.8x=18

x=22.5

A contractor is building a circular swimming pool. The radius of the circle 12 feet. He needs to know the circumference in order
dolphi86 [110]
C=Pi X D
Diameter is twice the radius so that would be 24 feet

C = Pi X 24
C = (22/7) X 24
C = 75.428 Feet.

Information about five planets is shown in the table below.
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

(a)Jupiter

(b)24.4 km

(c)1.33 \times 10^{27}$ kg

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Part A</u>

The planet with the greatest ma.ss is Jupiter.

It has a ma.ss of 1.898 X 10^{27}$ kg

<u>Part B</u>

The diameter of Mercury = 4.88 X 10

Radius = Diameter/2

Therefore:

Radius of Mercury

=\dfrac{4.88 X 10}{2}\\ =2.44 X 10\\=24.4$ km

<u>Part C</u>

M$a.ss of Saturn = 5.68 X 10^{26}\\$Mass of Jupiter = 1.898 X 10^{27}\\$Difference in their ma.ss =(1.898 X 10^{27})-(5.68 X 10^{26})\\=1.33 \times 10^{27}$ kg

Nine new employees, two of whom are married to each other, are to be assigned nine desks that are lined up in a row. If the assi

Answer:

The probability is 0.8

Step-by-step explanation:

The key to answering this question is considering the fact that the two married employees be treated as a single unit.

Now what this means is that we would be having 8 desks to assign.

Mathematically, the number of ways to assign 8 desks to 8 employees is equal to 8!

Now, the number of ways the couple can interchange their desks is just 2 ways

Thus, the number of ways to assign desks such that the couple has adjacent desks is 2(8!)

The number of ways to assign desks among all six employees randomly is 9!

Thus, the probability that the couple will have adjacent desks would be ;

2(8!)/9! = 2/9

This means that the probability that the couple have non adjacent desks is 1-2/9 = 7/9 = 0.77778

Which is 0.8 to the nearest tenth of a percent

Craig ran the first part of a race with an average speed of 8 miles per hour and biked the second part of a race with an average
enot [183]
Then, 15 - x is the distance ran in the second part.
The time, t1, for the first part is t1 = xmi / 8mi/h
The time, t2, for the second part is t2 = (15 - x)mi / 20mi/h
The total time is t1 + t2 = 1.125 h
Then x/8 + (15 - x) / 20 = 1.125
To solve for x, multiply both sides by 40 (this is the least common multiple)
5x + 30 - 2x = 45
3x = 15

to find x divide: 15/3=5

And 15 - x = 10 mi.
First part:
Speed: 8mi/h
Distance: 5 mi
Time: 5mi/8mi/h = 5/8 h = 37.5 minutes
Second part
Speed: 20 mi/h
Distance: 10 mi
Average speed: 15mi/1.125h =13.33 mi/h
Distance: 15mi
Time: 1.125 h = 67.5 minutes
