Answer:

The sample would double in 9 hours

Step-by-step explanation

The number of hours it will take for the sample to double can be found using the 72 rule.

The 72 rule is such that a growth rate would double itself by it is used in dividing the number 72 as shown below:

number of hours =72/8=9 hours

The number of hours it would take the sample to double is 9 hours as computed above.

Parallel Processing uses two or more computers, working together, to solving a problem. You connect two different computers; com
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

together rate = 1/20 min/job

one comp. rate = 1/(x-9) min/job

2nd comp. rate = 1/x min/job

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

Equation:

rate + rate = together rate

1/x + 1/(x-9) = 1/20

---

20(x-9) + 20x = x(x-9)

40x-9*20 = x^2-9x

---

x^2-49x + 180 = 0

Factor:

(x-45)(x-4) = 0

Realistic solution since 4-9 is negative:

x = 45 minutes

then

x-9 = 36 minutes (faster computer time to do the job)

The railing of a wheelchair ramp is parallel to the ramp. Find x and y in the diagram.
yKpoI14uk [10]

Given:

The wheel chair ramp is parallel to the ramp.

To find:

The value of x and y.

Solution:

If two lines are parallel, then the alternate interior angles are congruent.

4x° + 6y° = 86° --------- (1)

Similarly,

5x° + 6y° = 94°

Subtract 5x° from both sides.

5x° + 6y° - 5x° = 94° - 5x°

6y° = 94° - 5x° --------- (2)

Substitute (2) in (1).

4x° + 94° - 5x° = 86°

94° - x° = 86°

Subract 94° on both sides.

94° - x° - 94° = 86° - 94°

- x° = 86° - 94°

- x° = -8°

Multiply by -1 on both sides, we get

x = 8

Substitute x = 8 in (2).

6y° = 94° - 5(8)°

6y° = 54°

Divide by 6 on both sides, we get

y = 6

The value of x is 8 and y is 6.

olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer: 15 ounces


Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that a company claims the average cereal in boxes of breakfast cereal = 15 ounces

And we know that the mean amount is nothing but the average amount of any data.

Mean is synonym word of average .

The statistical mean is the mean or average that is used to find the central tendency of the data in any question.

Thus, the expected mean amount of cereal per box = 15 ounces.
