Answers

Answer:

3.6 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

We work in terms of rates per hour:

1/9 + 1/6 = 1/x  where x is the time for 2 pipes working together.

Multiply through by the LCD of 6, 9 and x ( which is  18x) :-

2x + 3x = 18

5x = 18

x = 3.6 hours.

Are 6/10 and 6/30 multiples of 3/10

Answers

10 is not a multiple of 3 so no 6/10 is not multiples for 3/10 and 6 is not a mutiple of 10 so it can't be also the same with 6/30 although 6/30 is multiples for 3 but 6 is not a mutiple for 10.
10 is not a multiple of 3 so no 6/10 and 6/30 are not multiples of 3/10

Will a frying pan with a circumference of 25.12 inches fit on an electric burner with a 4-inch radius?

Answers

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

25.12 inches of circumference is equal to the radius of 3.998 inches

4 inches > 3.998 inches

Therefore it fits


Answer:

yes

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula f equals c over lambda, where f = frequency, c = wave speed, and λ = wavelength, is used to calculate frequency. Solve this formula for c.A.c = f − λ
B.c = fλ
C.c = f + λ
D.c equals f over lambda

Answers

Answer:

B. c = fλ

Step-by-step explanation:

Given formula,

f equals c over lambda,

\implies f=(c)/( \lambda)

Where, f = frequency,

c = wave speed,

λ = wavelength,

By the above formula,

f* \lambda = c   ( By cross multiplication ),

Hence, the required formula for c,

c=f\lambda

Option 'B' is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

if f = c/lambda

then c = f × lambda

What is the slope of a line perpendicular to the following line?

-7y+ 8x=9

Answers

Answer:

m = -(7)/(8)

Step-by-step explanation:

Finding the slope of the given line

We need to find the slope of this equation to find the slope of a line perpendicular to it. This means we must solve for y.

Start off by subtracting 8x from both sides of the equation to start isolating the variable y.

-7y=9- 8x

Now solve for y by dividing both sides of the equation by -7.

y=(9-8x)/(-7)

This can be broken into two parts by distributing the negative sign from the -7 into the 9 and -8x like so:

y=(-9)/(7) +(8x)/(7 )

The slope of a line is the coefficient of x, so in this case the slope of the given line (-7y+8x=9) is (8)/(7).

Finding the slope of a line perpendicular to the given line

Two lines that are perpendicular would have opposite reciprocal slopes, which means the perpendicular slope would be the negative counterpart and would be flipped.

For example, if you have 2 as the slope of one of the perpendicular lines, the other line would be the opposite (-2) reciprocal (-(1)/(2)).

Therefore, since we have the slope of one of the perpendicular lines (the given line), we would find the opposite reciprocal of it's slope to solve this problem.

Slope: (8)/(7)

  • Opposite: -(8)/(7)
  • Reciprocal: -(7)/(8)

The slope of the line perpendicular to -7y+8x=9 is -(7)/(8).

What is the square root of 65

Answers

one way is factor
exg
if you wanted to find the square root of  36  you would factor
36=2 times 2 times 3 times 3
then group repeeting numbers then write only one of them
36=(2 times 2) times (3 times 3)
squareroot36=2 times 3=6

so factor 65
65=5 times 13
that doesn't help
next step
find squares close to that numbers
1^2=1
2^2=4
3^2=9
4^2=16
5^2=25
6^2=36
7^2=49
8^2=64
9^2=81

the answer is a little more than 8
