Jayden has been reading a 275275275-page book for English class. On average, he has read about 101010 pages in 151515 minutes (\

text{min})(min)left parenthesis, m, i, n, right parenthesis. With a deadline looming, Jayden realizes that he won't finish in time unless he skims through the rest of the book. If he skims the book, he can cover 151515 pages in 10\,\text{min}10min10, space, m, i, n. If it takes Jayden 555 hours and 50\,\text{min}50min50, space, m, i, n to finish the book (reading and skimming combined), how many pages did Jayden have to skim through?

First let's define variables:
 r: reading
 s: skimming
 We write the system of equations that adapts to the problem:
 r + s = 275
 (15/10) r + (10/15) s = 355
 We solve the system of equations:
 r = 206
 s = 69
 Note: see attached image for system solution.
 Answer: 
 Jayden had to skim 69 pages through

1) The cost of constructing a path 5 m broad inside the boundary of a square lawn at Rs 36.25 per sq. metre is Rs 90625. What is
Svetach [21]

Let , side lawn is a.

Area of boundary is :

A=4\times5\times a\\\\A=20a\ m^2

Now, total cost is given by :

T=20a\times 36.25\\\\90625=725a\\\\a=125\ m

Area left is :

A'=a^2-20a\\\\A'=125^2-20\times 125\ m^2\\\\A'=13125\ m^2

Price to empty space with turfs is :

P=A'\times 20\\\\P=13125\times 20\\\\P=262500

Therefore, the cost of covering the empty space with turfs at the rate of Rs 20 per sq. metre is Rs 262500.

Hence, this is the required solution.

At 9:00 on Saturday morning, two bicyclists heading in opposite directions pass each other on a bicycle path. The bicyclist head
7nadin3 [17]
Let x be the rate of the slower bicyclist and
      x + 4 be the rate of the faster bicyclist

Since the bicyclists are headed towards opposite directions, the sum of the distances they covered traveling for one hour and 15 minutes should be equal to 40 km based on the given conditions above. This may be expressed as,
 
                                   (x)(1.25) + (x + 4)(1.25) = 40

Calculating gives x = 14 

Thus, the rate of the bicyclists are 14 km/h and 18 km/h.

A sumo wrestling ring is circular and has a circumference of 4.6\pi \text{ meters}4.6π meters4, point, 6, pi, start text, space,
frez [133]

Answer:

The area of the sumo wrestling ring is 5.29 \pi

Step-by-step explanation:

The circumference of the circular sumo wrestling ring is 4.6\pi, that means its radius r is:

2\pi r=4.6\pi

r=\frac{4.6}{2} =\boxed{2.3\:meters.}

Now once we have the radius r of the sumo wrestling ring we can find its area A by the following formula:

A=\pi r^2

Putting in the value of r=2.3\:meters we get:

A=\pi (2.3m)^2=\boxed{5.29\pi\:\:m^2}

Therefore the area of the sumo wrestling ring is {5.29\pi\:\:m^2

In a rectangle, a diagonal forms a 36° angle with a side. Find the measure of the angle between the diagonals, which lies opposi
bezimeni [28]

Answer:

The answer is 72 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

The picture that Helpmetnx showed does work. But they made a mistake and assumed that the diagonal is a angle bisector, and it's not.

1. rectangle ABCD, BD & AC are the diagonals. ∠ABD =36 degrees

2. ∠ABD= ∠BDC = 36 - alternate interior angles

3. ∠DBC = 90 - 36 = 54. ∠DBC =∠ADB = ∠BCA = 54

4. Now we know that the triangle formed between the two diagonals is a isosceles triangle because of base angle theorem.

5. 180 - 54*2 = 72 degrees

I hope this helps!
