To find how much time the machine that took the longer job is, you would create an equation in terms of X, the amount of time it takes one of the machines.

Please see the attached picture for the work.

51 minutes is the longer time.
34 minutes for the other machine.

atroni [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the length of the bugs as shown;

Lady bug = 3/8

Ant = 1/4

Firefly = 7/8

Honey bee = 0.8

Deer tick = 0.2

Before we arrange the length in ascending order (shortest to longest), we will have to represent them in percentage.

Lady bug = 3/8×100

= 300/8

= 37.5%

Ant = 1/4×100

Ant = 25%

Firefly = 7/8 × 100

Firefly = 87.5%

Honey bee = 0.8×100

Honey bee = 80%

Deer tick = 0.2×100

Deer tick = 20%

On rearranging in ascending order:

20%, 25%, 37.5%, 80%, 87.5%

Based on the insect

Deer tick, Ant, ladybug, honey bee, Firefly

Based on their length:

0.2, 1/4, 3/8, 0.8, 7/8

Kevin says that lines p and m will eventually intersect. Lines A and B intersect. Plane A contains lines p, m, and n. Line n is
ANTONII [103]

Answer:

No, because they are parallel.

Step-by-step explanation:

The lines p and m will not intersect, so Kevin is not correct.

It is given that planes A and B intersects. The plane A contains the line p, m and n on its plane. The lines p and m are parallel to each other. They are identical and move in the same direction.

Since the line p and m are parallel, they will not meet each other at any point because parallel lines does not intersect or meet at a point, they run parallelly along each other.

So, line p and m will not intersect.

Thus the answer is " No, because they are parallel."

If e = 9 cm and f = 40 cm, what is the length of g?
rewona [7]

(9,40,41) is a Pythagorean Triple, farther down the list than teachers usually venture.

Answer: D. 41 cm

There's a subset of Pythagorean Triples where the long leg is one less than the hypotenuse,

a^2+b^2 = (b+1)^2

a^2 + b^2 = b^2 + 2b +1

a^2=2b+1

So we get one for every odd number, since the square of an odd number is odd and the square of an even number is even.

b = (a^2 - 1)/2

a=3, b=(3^2-1)/2=4, c=b+1=5

a=5, b=(5^2-1)/2 =12, c = 13

a=7, b=24, c=25

a=9, b=40, c=41

a=11, b=60, c=61

a=13, b=84, c=85

It's good to be able to recognize Pythagorean Triples when we see them.  

Otherwise we'd have to work the calculator:

√(9² + 40²) = √1681 = 41
