Answer:

0.6 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say the swimming pool is 12,000 gallons.

The flow rate of the cold water pipe is:

12000 gal / 4 hr = 3000 gal/hr

The flow rate of the hot water pipe is:

12000 gal / 6 hr = 2000 gal/hr

If the cold water pipe is turned on for three hours, the volume of water is:

3000 gal/hr × 3 hr = 9000 gal

That leaves 3000 gallons.  The time to fill the rest of the pool with both the cold and hot water pipes is:

3000 gal / (3000 gal/hr + 2000 gal/hr) = 0.6 hr

It takes 0.6 hours (36 minutes).

Triangle J K L is shown. Angle J K L is a right angle. An altitude is drawn from point K to point M on side L J to form a right
kompoz [17]

Answer:

LJ=15\ units

Step-by-step explanation:

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

step 1

Find the length side KJ

In the right triangle JKM

Applying the Pythagoras Theorem

KJ^{2}=JM^{2}+KM^{2}

we have

JM=3\ units

KM=6\ units

substitute

KJ^{2}=3^{2}+6^{2}

KJ^{2}=45}

KJ=\sqrt{45}\ units

simplify

KJ=3\sqrt{5}\ units

step 2

Find the value of cosine of angle MJK in the right triangle JKM

cos(JKM)=JM/KJ

substitute the values

cos(JKM)=\frac{3}{3\sqrt{5}}

simplify

cos(JKM)=\frac{\sqrt{5}}{5} -----> equation A

step 3

Find the value of cosine of angle MJK in the right triangle JKL

cos(JKM)=KJ/LJ

we have

KJ=3\sqrt{5}\ units

cos(JKM)=\frac{\sqrt{5}}{5} ----> remember equation A

substitute the values

\frac{\sqrt{5}}{5}=\frac{3\sqrt{5}}{LJ}

Simplify

LJ=5(3)=15\ units

Suppose that in a survey of 1,000 U.S. residents, 721 residents believed that the amount of violent television programming had i
Art [367]

Answer: 0.813

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A be the event describes the number of residents believed that the amount of violent television programming had increased over the past 10 years.

& B be the event describes the number of residents believed that the amount of violent television programming had decreased over the past 10 years.

Given : n(A)=721   ;  n(B)=454  ;  n(A∩B)=362

We know that ,

n(A\cup B)=n(A)+n(B)-n(A\cap B)

i.e. n(A\cup B)=721+454-362=813

Also, the total number of U.S. residents surveyed n(S)= 1,000

Then, the  proportion of the 1,000 U.S. residents believed that either the amount of violent programming had increased or the overall quality of programming had decreased over the past 10 years will be :-

P(A\cup B)=\dfrac{n(A\cup B)}{n(S)}=\dfrac{813}{1000}=0.813

Hence, the required answer = 0.813
