Answer: The required time taken by Ria and Destiny to paint the room together is 2.4.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that Ria can paint a room in 4 hours. Destiny can paint the same room in 6 hours.

We are to find the time to paint the room if Ria and Destiny work together.

Let t hours be the time taken to paint the room by Ria and Destiny if they work together.

So, in 1 hour, the fraction of the work done by Ria and Destiny is

$\dfrac{1}{t}.$

Now,

Ria can paint a room in 4 hours. So, in 1 hour, the fraction of the work done by Ria is

$\dfrac{1}{4}$ .

Also, Destiny can paint the room in 6 hours. So, in 1 hour, the fraction of teh work done by Destiny is

$\dfrac{1}{6}.$

Therefore, we get

$\dfrac{1}{t}=\dfrac{1}{4}+\dfrac{1}{6}\\\\\\ \Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{t}=\dfrac{3+2}{12}\\\\\\ \Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{t}=\dfrac{5}{12}\\\\\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{12}{5}\\\\\\\Rightarrow t=2.4.$

Thus, the required time taken by Ria and Destiny to paint the room together is 2.4 hours.

Time taken by Ria to paint a room = 4 hours

Time taken by Destiny to paint a room = 6 hours

If they work together, they complete 1 job. So,

$\frac{1x}{4}+\frac{1x}{6}=1$

The LCD of 4 and 6 is 12

$\frac{3x+2x}{12}=1$

$\frac{5x}{12}=1$

$5x=12$

$x=\frac{12}{5}$

Hence, both of them can paint the room in $\frac{12}{5}$ hours or 2.4 hours.

A nutritionist attempts to determine an association between where food is prepared and the number of calories the food contains.

Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Given the conditional relative frequency table below which was generated by column using frequency table data comparing the number of calories in a meal to whether the meal was prepared at home or at a restaurant.

Number of Calories and Location of Meal Preparation.
Home Restaurant Total
≥ 500 calories 0.15 0.55 0.28

< 500 calories 0.85 0.45 0.72

Total 1.0 1.0 1.0

To determine whether there is an association between where food is prepared and the number of carories the food contain, we recall that an "association" exists between two categorical variables if the column conditional relative frequencies are different for the columns of the table. The bigger the differences in the conditional relative frequencies, the stronger the association between the variables. If the conditional relative frequencies are nearly equal for all categories, there may be no association between the variables. Such variables are said to be <span>independent.

For the given conditional relative freduency, we can see that there is a significant difference between the columns of the table.
i.e. 0.15 is significantly different from 0.55 and 0.85 is significantly different from 0.45

Therefore, we can conclude from the given answer options that t</span><span>here is an association because the value 0.15 is not similar to the value 0.55</span>

Which equation can be used to solve for b? Triangle A B C is shown. Angle B C A is a right angle and angle C A B is 30 degrees.

FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer: We should use the correct formula for tan α (which is opposite

leg over adjacent leg) tan α = 5/b

Step-by-step explanation:

See attached file

We must use the for equation of tan α = BC/AC

tan α = BC/ b tan α = 5/b tan 30⁰ = 1/√3

b = 5/√3 ⇒ b = 5/1.7320

b = 2.8868 cm

Which products result in a difference of squares? Select three options. A. (x minus y)(y minus x) B. (6 minus y)(6 minus y) C. (

solniwko [45]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello, please consider the following.

A. (x minus y)(y minus x)

$(x-y)(y-x)=-(x-y)(x-y)=-(x-y)^2$

This is not a difference of squares.

B. (6 minus y)(6 minus y)

$(6-y)(6-y)=(6-y)^2$

This is not a difference of squares.

C. (3 + x z)(negative 3 + x z)

This is a difference of squares.

$\boxed{(3+xz)(-3+xz)=(xz+3)(xz-3)=(xz)^2-3^2}$

D. (y squared minus x y)(y squared + x y)

This is a difference of squares.

$\boxed{(y^2-xy)(y^2+xy)=(y^2)^2-(xy)^2}$

E. (64 y squared + x squared)(negative x squared + 64 y squared)

This is a difference of squares.

$\boxed{(64y^2+x^2)(-x^2+64y^2)=(64y^2+x^2)(64y^2-x^2)=(64y^2)^2-(x^2)^2}$

Hope this helps.

Do not hesitate if you need further explanation.

Thank you

If cos Θ = square root 2 over 2 and 3 pi over 2 < Θ < 2π, what are the values of sin Θ and tan Θ?

KIM [24]

Answer:

The answer is

$sin(\theta)=-\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$

$tan(\theta)=-1$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

$tan(\theta)=\frac{sin(\theta)}{cos(\theta)}$

$sin^{2}(\theta)+cos^{2}(\theta)=1$

In this problem we have

$cos(\theta)=\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$

$\frac{3\pi}{2}$

so

The angle $\theta$ belong to the third or fourth quadrant

The value of $sin(\theta)$ is negative

Step 1

Find the value of $sin(\theta)$

Remember

$sin^{2}(\theta)+cos^{2}(\theta)=1$

we have

$cos(\theta)=\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$

substitute

$sin^{2}(\theta)+(\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2})^{2}=1$

$sin^{2}(\theta)=1-\frac{1}{2}$

$sin^{2}(\theta)=\frac{1}{2}$

$sin(\theta)=-\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$ ------> remember that the value is negative

Step 2

Find the value of $tan(\theta)$

$tan(\theta)=\frac{sin(\theta)}{cos(\theta)}$

we have

$sin(\theta)=-\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$

$cos(\theta)=\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$

substitute

$tan(\theta)=\frac{-\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}}{\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}}$

$tan(\theta)=-1$

It takes one week for a crew of workers to pave 3/5 kilometer of a road. At that rate, how long will it take to pave 1 kilometer

kondaur [170]

1 kilometer =5/3 week

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the crew paves 3/5 kilometer of a road in 1 week then this can be written as;

3/5 k = 1 week

For 1 kilometer of a road,

3/5k = 1 week

1k=?

perform cross product as;/multiplication equation

1*1 / 3/5

1*5/3

5/3, 1 2/3 weeks

A division equation will be'

3/5 kilometers = 1 week

Divide both sides by 3/5

1 kilometer =5/3 week
