One grocery clerk can stock a shelf in 25 min. A second clerk requires 45 min to stock the same shelf. How long would it take to stock the shelf if the two clerks worked together?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

clerk A and clerk B can simultaneously stock a shelf in 180/13 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first clerk be A and the second clerk be B

A can stock a shelf in 20 min

B can stock a shelf in 45 min

Consider the complete work to be W

A’s rate of stocking =  per minute

B’s rate of stocking =  per minute

When, A and B work simultaneously, rate of work done =

Total work done simulatenously =  180/13

Therefore, clerk A and clerk B can simultaneously stock a shelf in 180/13  minutes

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate of each clerk is 1/25 and 1/45 respectively so together they can stock the shelf

t/25+t/45=1 (the least common multiple of 25 and 45 is 225)

t/25(9/9)+t/45(5/5)=1

(9t+5t)/225=1

9t+5t=225

14t=225

t=225/14 min

t=16 minutes (rounded to nearest minute)

( or 16 minutes and about four seconds :) )

Jim is saving nickels, dimes and quarters to buy a baseball mitt. He has 12 more
dimes than quarters, and 8 fewer nickels than twice the number of quarters. The total
amount he has saved is $17.00. What number of each kind of coin he has

Answers

Answer:

36 quarters   48 dimes  64 nickels

Step-by-step explanation:

quarter = q

dime = q+12

nickel = 2q-8

$17 = 1,700 cents

(q)25 + (q+12)10 + (2q-8)5 = 1,700

25q +10q+120  +10q-40 =1,700

45q+80 = 1,700

45q = 1620

q= 36      

 36     QUARTERS x25 =  900cents

 48 DIMES    x10      =         480 cents

  64 NICKELS x 5 =             320 cents

  TOTAL                              1,700 cents ($17)

Tomorrow’s test has 7 questions on it and she needs to answer 5 questions correctly in order to make the Honor Roll. If she guesses on every question, what is the probability that she’ll answer exactly 5 questions correctly?

Answers

Answer:

A. 0.2734 = 27.34% probability that there are an equal number of boys and girls

B. 0.2753 = 27.53% probability that she’ll answer exactly 5 questions correctly

Step-by-step explanation:

In each of these questions, the binomial probability distribution is used.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

In which [tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]

And p is the probability of X happening.

A.The Murray family has produced 8 children.

What is the probability that there are an equal number of boys and girls?

8 children means that [tex]n = 8[/tex]

Each children is equally as likely to be a boy or a girl, which means that [tex]p = 0.5[/tex]

This probability is P(X = 4). So

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 4) = C_{8,4}.(0.5)^{4}.(0.5)^{4} = 0.2734[/tex]

0.2734 = 27.34% probability that there are an equal number of boys and girls

B.Margie has the uncanny ability of being able to guess the correct answer to TRUE/FALSE questions with an 80% accuracy rate. Tomorrow’s test has 7 questions on it and she needs to answer 5 questions correctly in order to make the Honor Roll. If she guesses on every question, what is the probability that she’ll answer exactly 5 questions correctly?

80% accurracy rate means that [tex]p = 0.8[/tex]

7 questions means that [tex]n = 7[/tex]

The probability is P(X = 5). So

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 5) = C_{7,5}.(0.8)^{5}.(0.2)^{2} = 0.2753[/tex]

0.2753 = 27.53% probability that she’ll answer exactly 5 questions correctly

Fatima opened a savings account with $7,500. She decided to deposit that same amount semiannually. This account earns 3.975% interest compounded semiannually. Exercises 5-7 are about Fatima's account. 5. What is the future value of the account after 10 years?​

Answers

Answer:

A = $11117.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data;

Principal = $7,500

Interest rate = 3.975% = 3.975/100 = 0.03975

Number of times, n = 2

Time, t = 10 years

To find the future value, we would use the compound interest formula;

[tex] A = P(1 + \frac{r}{n})^{nt}[/tex]

Where;

A is the future value.

P is the principal or starting amount.

r is annual interest rate.

n is the number of times the interest is compounded in a year.

t is the number of years for the compound interest.

Substituting into the equation, we have;

[tex] A = 7500(1 + \frac{0.03975}{2})^{2*10}[/tex]

[tex] A = 7500(1 + 0.019875)^{20}[/tex]

[tex] A = 7500(1.019875)^{20}[/tex]

[tex] A = 7500(1.4823)[/tex]

A = $11117.25

Answers

Answer:

The number is 4

Step-by-step explanation:

We set up the equation given the conditions listed. Since it says 5 times the difference between a number and 7, we can use x as a placeholder for the number.

(x-7) is the difference between the number and 7. The question asks for 5 times that difference thus we multiply the entire thing by 5 giving us 5(x-7. The question says that it all equals -15 so we set that expression equal to -15.

Thus we get the equation and solve:

5(x-7)= -15 (distributive property)

5x-35= -15 (add 35 to both sides)

5x=20 (divide by 5)

x=4; so the number is 4

Answer:

The answer is " [tex](21120)_3[/tex]  and [tex](100011112)_3[/tex]"

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculating the sum:

[tex]a= (20001)_3 \\\\b= (1112)_3[/tex]

[tex]\to a+b = 20001+1112[/tex]                     // 163+41=204

             [tex]=(21120)_3[/tex]

Explanation:

In the addition, first convert the given value (a,b) into decimal point that is (163, 41) and by adding its value is equal to (204) and after convert its value is equal to [tex](21120)_3[/tex].

Calculating the product:

[tex]a= (20001)_3 \\\\b= (1112)_3[/tex]

[tex]\to a*b = 20001*1112[/tex]                //  163 *41=6,683

             [tex]=(100011112)_3[/tex]

Explanation:

In the product calculation we convert the given value (a,b) into decimal point that is (163, 41) and multiplting its value which is equal to (6,683) and after convert its value is equal to [tex](100011112)_3[/tex].
