It takes 8 minutes for byron to fill the kiddie pool in the backyard using only a handheld hose. when his younger sister is impatient, byron also uses the lawn sprinkler to add water to the pool so it is filled more quickly. if the hose and sprinkler are used together, it takes 5 minutes to fill the pool. which equation can be used to determine r, the rate in parts per minute, at which the lawn sprinkler would fill the pool if used alone?
+ 5r = 8
+ 5r = 1
5() = r
= 5r

Let us say that the procedure of completely filling up the pool with water is called “1 job”. Therefore the rates of the equipment in doing the job would be:

Rate of handheld hose = 1 job / 8 minutes                  ---> 1

Rate of lawn sprinkler = r                                             ---> 2

Rate of the two combines = 1 job/ 5 minutes               ---> 3

So we are to find the equation to use, in this case, we simply have to add equations 1 and 2 to get 3:

1 / 8 + r = 1 / 5

Multiplying both sides by 5:

(5 / 8) + 5 r = 1                                                               ---> ANSWER

step-by-step explanation:

2 & 7

step-by-step explanation:

he climbs 300 ft/hr at a constant rate. the peak is at 1,500 ft.

when going up, he reaches 600 ft in 2 hours. remember, that he is going in a constant rate. divide 600 with 300:

600/300 = 2

assuming that he takes the same route back (meaning that it's a 1500 ft route back, you can solve.

note also that you are solving when he gets back to 600 ft after he reaches the peak.

first, find the amount of hours it takes to get up the peak. divide the total amount (1500), with the ft/her (300) to get the amount of hours (x):

1500/300 = x

x = 5

it takes jamie 5 hours to get up. now, he is returning down, and reaches 600 (his current destination). remember that he climbs at a constant 300 ft/hr. divide 600 with 300:

600/300 = x

x = 2

now add the two numbers together.

x = 5 + 2 = 7

jamie takes 7 hours to go up the mountain and reach his current position when descending.

(total amount/constant rate) = (time).

remember that it is a constant rate, so in total, when he gets back down the mountain, it will take the same amount of time as when he goes up. the total amount for the round trip is: 5 + 5 = 10.
