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

puter A is faster than computer B due to being a more modern machine. When both computers are working together it takes 20 minutes for them to work put a single problem. Individually it would take computer B 9 more minutes than computer A to solve the same problem on its own. Solve for how many minutes it would take computer A to solve a single problem on it own

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)

Step-by-step explanation:

Karolina [17]
The difference of the blue crab population From 1990-1997, the average was (800+750)/2 = 775; and from 1989-2009: (350+350)/2 = 350. I predict that from 2010 to 2020 the population will increase to about 500 because it seems to go on trends of increasing and decreasing.

A rectangle that had the perimeter of 70 and the area of 250 has enlarged; its sides became twice as long. what is the new area
aliya0001 [1]
The perimeter of the original rectangle is:
 P = 2w + 2l = 70
 The area of the original rectangle is:
 A = w * l = 250
 Then, by modifying the length of its sides we have:
 Perimeter:
 P '= 2 (2w) +2 (2l)
 Rewriting:
 P '= 2 (2w + 2l)
 P '= 2P
 P '= 2 (70)
 P '= 140
 Area:
 A '= (2w) * (2l)
 Rewriting:
 A '= (2) * (2) (w) * (l)
 A '= 4 * w * l
 A '= 4 * A
 A '= 4 * 250
 A '= 1000
 Answer:
 
the new area and the new perimeter are:
 
P '= 140
 
A '= 1000

Which equation represents this number sentence? Two more than one-third of a number is 8
Natali [406]

Answer:

B. 2+\frac{1}{3}n=8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n be the number.

We are asked to write an mathematical expression for the given word phrase.

One third of a number, n, would be \frac{1}{3}n.

Two more than one third of a number, n, would be 2+\frac{1}{3}n.

We are told that Two more than one-third of a number is 8. We can represent this information in an equation as:

2+\frac{1}{3}n=8

Therefore, option B is the correct choice.
