Miguel and Maria are washing the windows in their home. Together, they can complete the task in 1.5 hours. If Maria can wash win

dows twice as fast as Miguel, how many minutes would it take her to wash them by herself? In your answer, include the equation you used to solve the problem.

Answer:

2 hours 15 minutes

2.25 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Maria's time by herself = x minutes

Let Miguel's time by himself = 2x minutes

You have to be careful how you set this equation up. Start with the right. The 1 represents the Job to be done. It takes 90 minutes.

The left hand side = 1/x which is the amount of time Maria (x) takes to do the job by herself. She doesn't do the job by herself.

Miguel helps her, so the portion he does is represented by 1/2x. Because he's helping, her time is cut back; he's doing some of the work.

1/x + 1/(2x) = 1/90 minutes

(2 + 1)/(2x) = 1/90 minutes

3/(2x) = 1/90 minutes

270 = 2x

x = 135 minutes.

It would take her 135 minutes to do the windows alone. That's 2 hours and 15 minutes.

Answer: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

A.) 50.45m + 60 = 57.95m

b.) 50.45m + 60 = 57.95m
     60 = 57.95m - 50.45m
     60 = 7.50m
     60 / 7.50 = m
     8 = m.....so the cost will be the same at 8 months

Which part of the proof does the fourth statement and reason represent?
denis-greek [22]

Answer:

Option B is correct.

Reason:It is an argument

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: AB \cong BC  and BC \cong EF

By transitive property:  a = b  and b = c then, a =c

⇒AB \cong EF

AB = EF                                [def of \cong segment]

By Segment Addition Postulate states that given  two points A and C, and a third point B lies on the line segment AC if and only if the distances between the  points satisfy the equation

AB + BC = AC.

Since, the line segment EG , F lies on the line segment;

then, by segment addition postulates we have;

EG = EF + FG

By substitution AB=EF

⇒ EG = AB + FG                     hence proved!

Since, in the fourth statement reason is:  It is an argument

Two window washers start at the heights shown. (A: 21 ft high rising 8 in per second. The other is 50 feet high descending 11inc
babunello [35]

For this case, the first thing we are going to do is write the generic equation of motion for the vertical axis.

We have then:

h = \frac {1} {2} gt ^ 2 + vo * t + h0

Where,

  • <em>g: acceleration of gravity </em>
  • <em>vo: initial speed </em>
  • <em>h0: initial height </em>

For the first body:

h1 = \frac {1} {2} gt ^ 2 + \frac {8} {12} * t + 21

For the second body:

h2 = \frac {1} {2} gt ^ 2 - \frac {11} {12} * t + 50

By the time both bodies have the same height we have:

h1 = h2\\

\frac {1} {2} gt ^ 2 + \frac {8} {12} * t + 21 = \frac {1} {2} gt ^ 2 - \frac {11} {12} * t + 50

Rewriting we have:

\frac {8} {12} * t + 21 = - \frac {11} {12} * t + 50

\frac {8} {12} * t + \frac {11} {12} * t = 50 - 21

\frac {19} {12} * t = 29

Clearing time:

t = 29 (\frac {12} {19})\\t = 18.31s

Answer:

 it takes 18.31s for the two window washers to reach the same height

Answer:

It represents a mosquito that flew very fast after feeding relative to all other mosquitoes.

Step-by-step explanation:

The point is unusual because the velocity of the mosquito is substantially greater than all other velocities and is probably an outlier.
