Let's correct what the person above said. 1 and a half hour = 90 minutes.

x: amount of time Miguel uses to complete the task.

y: amount of time Maria uses to complete the task.

We write the system of equations:

x + y = 90

y = (1/2) x

Solving the system we have:

x = 60 minutes

y = 30 minutes

(Verify:)

30 + 60 = 90

90 = 90 (correct)

Answer:

it take her to wash them by herself about:

y = 30 minutes

For this case, the first thing we must do is define variables.
 x: amount of time Miguel uses to complete the task.
 y: amount of time Maria uses to complete the task.
 We write the system of equations:
 x + y = 60
 y = (1/2) x
 Solving the system we have:
 x = 40 minutes
 y = 20 minutes
 Answer:
 
it take her to wash them by herself about:
 
y = 20 minutes

Your Mutual Fund was valued at $237,500. It has lost 6% per year for the last 3 years. What is its value today?
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

The answer is C) $197,263.70

Step-by-step explanation:

It's losing 6% PER year for the last 3 year.

You can do what I did and take $237,500 and times it 0.06. Which should give you 14,250, that is how much is lost in year one.

So subtract 14,250 from 237,500, you should have $223,250 now.

Repeat the first step with $223,250 now, you times it by 0.06 again and you should get 13,395, you subtract that from $223,250.

You have $209,855 now, once again times that by 0.06 and you get 12,591.30. Subtract 12,591.30 from 209,855 and you should end up with $197,263.70

It's a long, simple method and I'm sure there is another method of solving this question, but this is an easy way to get the answer.

The area of a square is stored in a double variable named area. write an expression whose value is length of the diagonal of the
lbvjy [14]

First of all, a bit of theory: since the area of a square is given by

A = s^2

where s is the length of the square. So, if we invert this function we have

s = \sqrt{A}.

Moreover, the diagonal of a square cuts the square in two isosceles right triangles, whose legs are the sides, so the diagonal is the hypothenuse and it can be found by

d = \sqrt{s^2+s^2} = \sqrt{2s^2} = s\sqrt{2}

So, the diagonal is the side length, multiplied by the square root of 2.

With that being said, your function could be something like this:

double diagonalFromArea(double area) {

double side = Math.sqrt(area);

double diagonal = side * Math.sqrt(2);

return diagonal;

}
