When two pipes fill a pool together, they can finish in 5 hours. If one of the pipes fills half the pool then the other takes ov

er and finishes filling the pool, it will take them 18 hours. How long will it take each pipe to fill the pool if it were working alone?

➷The answer is 18 hours.

Explanation: If you look carefully, you can see that the answer is the second condition as well. If one pipe did half, then the other pipe took over and that took 18 hours, that means that it equals one pipe filling the pool continuously by itself. :)

1. Kim works as a book keeper and creates invoices for a variety of companies. Help Kim find the total

Zanzabum

This is about calculation of invoice.

<u><em>1) Total for the invoice = $2641.25</em></u>

<u><em>2) Total for the invoice = $30</em></u>

<u><em>3) Total for the invoice = $1925</em></u>

<u><em /></u>

1) 12 cameras for $200 each

Amount for cameras = 12 × 200 = $2400

25 cables with length of 10 ft each cost $1.25

Amount for 10 ft cables = 25 × 1.25 = $31.25

12 ft specialty cables cost $1.75 per foot

10 of these cables will have length =12 × 10 = 120 ft

Amount for 10 of these cables = 1.75 × 120 = $210

Total for the Invoice = $2400 + $31.25 + $210

Total for the invoice = $2641.25

2) 250 yards of rope costs $500.

Thus, price per yard = 500/250 = $2 per yard

For a customer that wants 15 yard;

Total for the invoice = 15 × $2 = $30

3) Dump truck is rented for $275 per hour. And the minimum is 2 hours per day. This means that anything less than 1 hour, the money paid must be money for 2 hours.

Thus;

On monday; 1 hour will cost; 2 × $275 = $550

On Tuesday; 3 hours will cost; 3 × $275 = $825

On wednesday; 2hours will cost; 2 × $275 = $550

Total for the invoice = 550 + 825 + 550 = $1925

At the bank, Brent exchanges $50 in bills for 50 one-dollar coins. The total mass of the coins is 405 grams. ESTIMATE the mass o

Anarel [89]

To find the answer, you should divide 405 by 50 to find the mass of one coin. The formula should look like this:
$\frac{405}{50}$
= 8.1
The exact mass is 8.1 grams, but because you want an estimate, the answer should be
About 8 grams for the mass of 1 one-dollar coin

A piece of paper is to display ~128~ 128 space, 128, space square inches of text. If there are to be one-inch margins on both si

Grace [21]

Answer:

The dimensions of the smallest piece that can be used are: 10 by 20 and the area is 200 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that:

$Area = 128$

Let the dimension of the paper be x and y;

Such that:

$Length = x$

$Width = y$

So:

$Area = x * y$

Substitute 128 for Area

$128 = x * y$

Make x the subject

$x = \frac{128}{y}$

When 1 inch margin is at top and bottom

The length becomes:

$Length = x + 1 + 1$

$Length = x + 2$

When 2 inch margin is at both sides

The width becomes:

$Width = y + 2 + 2$

$Width = y + 4$

The New Area (A) is then calculated as:

$A = (x + 2) * (y + 4)$

Substitute $\frac{128}{y}$ for x

$A = (\frac{128}{y} + 2) * (y + 4)$

Open Brackets

$A = 128 + \frac{512}{y} + 2y + 8$

Collect Like Terms

$A = \frac{512}{y} + 2y + 8+128$

$A = \frac{512}{y} + 2y + 136$

$A= 512y^{-1} + 2y + 136$

To calculate the smallest possible value of y, we have to apply calculus.

Different A with respect to y

$A' = -512y^{-2} + 2$

Set

$A' = 0$

This gives:

$0 = -512y^{-2} + 2$

Collect Like Terms

$512y^{-2} = 2$

Multiply through by $y^2$

$y^2 * 512y^{-2} = 2 * y^2$

$512 = 2y^2$

Divide through by 2

$256=y^2$

Take square roots of both sides

$\sqrt{256=y^2$

$16=y$

$y = 16$

Recall that:

$x = \frac{128}{y}$

$x = \frac{128}{16}$

$x = 8$

Recall that the new dimensions are:

$Length = x + 2$

$Width = y + 4$

So:

$Length = 8 + 2$

$Length = 10$

$Width = 16 + 4$

$Width = 20$

To double-check;

Differentiate A'

$A' = -512y^{-2} + 2$

$A" = -2 * -512y^{-3}$

$A" = 1024y^{-3}$

$A" = \frac{1024}{y^3}$

The above value is:

$A" = \frac{1024}{y^3} > 0$

This means that the calculated values are at minimum.

<em>Hence, the dimensions of the smallest piece that can be used are: 10 by 20 and the area is 200 square inches</em>
