Answer:

12.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let  individual time taken by Anthony, Brian and Chris = t1 , t2 , t3 respectively

So, total time taken by A & B  = 1 / t1  + 1 / t2 , lets suppose = 10  {i}

Total time taken by A & C = 1 / t1  + 1 / t3 , lets suppose = 15 {ii}

Total time taken by B & C = 1 / t2  + 1 / t3 , lets suppose = 20 {iii}

From {i} , 1 / t2 = 10 - 1 / t1

From {ii} 1 / t1 = 15 - 1 / t3

By above two eqtns ,  1 / t2 = 10 - (15 - 1 / t3)

1 / t2 = 1 / t3 - 5

Putting in {iii} , 1 / t3 - 5 + 1 / t3 = 20

2 / t3 = 25

t3 = 12.5

Patty is building a rope ladder tree house she needs two 4 foot pieces of rope for the sides of the ladder she needs 6 pieces of
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

15.5 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Patty is building a rope ladder tree house she needs two 4 foot pieces of rope for the sides of the ladder.

She needs 6 pieces of rope each 15 inches long for the steps.

Question asked:

How many feet of rope does patty need to make the ladder ?

Solution:

She needs for the sides of the ladder = Two 4 foot pieces of rope

                                                                = 2 \times 4 feet = 8 feet

She needs for the steps of the ladder = 6 pieces of 15 inches long rope

                                                               = 6 \times 15 inches = 90 inches

Convert 90 inches into feet:-

12 inches = 1 feet

1  inches = \frac{1}{12} \ feet

90 inches = \frac{1}{12} \times90=\frac{90}{12} =7.5\ feet

Patty needs total rope = 8 feet + 7.5 feet

                                     = 15.5 feet

Thus, Patty needs 15.5 feet of rope to make the ladder.

What is the sum of StartRoot negative 2 EndRoot and StartRoot negative 18 EndRoot?
Darya [45]

Answer:

4 \sqrt{2} i

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find the sum of

\sqrt{ - 2}  +  \sqrt{ - 18}

We can rewrite this as

\sqrt{ 2 \times  - 1}  +  \sqrt{ 18 \times  - 1}

This becomes;

\sqrt{2}  \times  \sqrt{ - 1}  +  \sqrt{18}  \times  \sqrt{ - 1}

Recall that;

i =  \sqrt{ - 1}

This implies that;

\sqrt{2} i + 3 \sqrt{2} i

Combine like terms:

4 \sqrt{2} i

A lightbulb has a normally distributed light output with mean 5000 end foot-candles and standard deviation of 50 end foot-candle
Blizzard [7]
To find the specification limit such that only 0.5% of the bulbs will not exceed this limit we proceed as follows;
From the z-table, a z-score of -2.57 cuts off 0.005 in the left tail; given the formula for z-score
(x-μ)/σ
we shall have:
(x-5000)/50=-2.57
solving for x we get:
x-5000=-128.5
x=-128.5+5000
x=4871.50
