Lamar and lawrence run a two-person lawn-care service. they have been caring for mr. johnson's very large lawn for several years
, and they have found that the time it takes lamar to mow the lawn itself is approximately normally distributed with a mean of 105 minutes and a standard deviation of 10 minutes. meanwhile, the time it takes for lawrence to use the edger and string trimmer to attend to details is also normally distributed with a mean of 98 minutes and a standard deviation of 15 minutes. they prefer to finish their jobs within 5 minutes of each other. what is the probability that this happens, assuming their finish times are independent?

Solution:
we are given that
Nathan takes 42 minutes to thread a distance of 4.5 miles on a threadmill.
we have been asked to find the average distance covered in one minute.
Using the concept of unity we can write
Since Nathan takes 42 minutes to cover a distance of 4.5 miles.
So in 1 minute Nathan will cover a distance of
Hence avearge distance covered in one minute is 1.1 miles.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
x = measure of the first angle
y = measure of the second angle
z = measure of the third angle
The sum of the measures of the second and third (y+z) is five times the measure of the first angle (=5x)
The third angle is 14 more than the second
And remember that the sum of these three angles must be equal to 180.
Let's take these equations
If you take a look at the first equation, we have y+z = 5x and we have y+z in the third equation as well, we can replace that....
Distribute the + sign
Combine like terms;
Divide by 6.
We have now defined that the measure of the first angle is 30º.
Let's take another equation... for example
I'm going to take this one because if I replace x and z in the third equation, all I'll have left will be y.
Distribute the + sign and Combine like terms;
Subtract 44 to isolate 2y.
Now divide by 2.
We already have the value of x and y. Once again, replacing this in the third equation will leave us with z to solve for.
B. The total area painted is 864; they must buy two cans of paint.
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1:
A rectangle's area can be calculated by multiplying its length and its width. The wall is made up of 5 different types of rectangular walls. All walls are 8 feet tall but the length varies.
Step 2:
The area of the 20 feet long wall =
The area of the 10 feet long wall =
The area of the 5 feet long wall =
The area of the 4 feet long wall =
The area of the 15 feet long wall =
The area of all the walls = 432 square feet.
Since there are two sides for every wall, total area = square feet.
Step 3:
If one paint can covers 500 square feet,
the number of cans required to paint 864 square feet = cans.
so 2 paint cans are needed to paint 864 square feet which is option B.
