The rat will press the left lever x = y/3 = 25 times and the right lever y = 75 times in 10 minutes.
Assuming the rat gets all of the reinforces and there are 100 total lever presses in 10 minutes, the rat will press the -
left lever x = y/3 = 25 times and the right lever y = 75 times in 10 minutes.
On a VI-30 second schedule, the reinforcement is delivered on average once every 30 seconds, while on a VI-10 second schedule, the reinforcement is delivered on average once every 10 seconds.
Let's assume that the rat presses the levers at a constant rate, and let x be the number of lever presses on the left lever and y be the number of lever presses on the right lever in 10 minutes (600 seconds).
Then, we have:
x + y = 100 (total number of lever presses)
The average rate of pressing the left lever is 1 reinforcement every 30 seconds,
So, the average number of reinforcements earned on the left lever is 600/30 = 20.
Similarly, the average number of reinforcements earned on the right lever is 600/10 = 60.
Let's assume that the rat earns all the reinforcements by pressing the levers in such a way that the ratio of the number of reinforcements earned on the left lever to the number earned on the right lever is the same as the ratio of the number of lever presses on the left lever to the number on the right lever.
Mathematically, we have:
x/y = 20/60 = 1/3
Multiplying both sides by y, we get:
x = y/3
Substituting this into the first equation, we get:
y/3 + y = 100
Simplifying, we get:
y = 75
Therefore, the rat will press the left lever x = y/3 = 25 times and the right lever y = 75 times in 10 minutes.

Find the area of the convex polygon with vertices (0,5), (-1,2), (4,4), (-3,-4) and (2,0).
The area of the convex polygon is 21.5 square units
How to determine the area of the convex polygon?The vertices are given as:
(0,5), (-1,2), (4,4), (-3,-4) and (2,0)
The area is then calculated as:
A = 0.5 * |x1y2 - x2y1 +x2y3 - x3y2 + ....... |
So, we have:
A = 0.5 * |-1 * 5 - 2 * 0 + 0 * 4 - 5 * 4 + 4 * 0 - 4 * 2 +2 * -4 - 0 * -3 - 3 * 2 + 4 * 1|
Evaluate
A = 0.5 * |-43|
Remove the absolute bracket
A = 0.5 * 43
This gives
A = 21.5
Hence, the area of the convex polygon is 21.5 square units

Identify an equation in point slope form for the line parallel to y=-2/3×+8 that paases through (4,-5)
Answer:
y=-2/3x-7/3
Step-by-step explanation:
a parallel line has the same slope but different y intercept
so we need to solve for y=-2/3x+b
since it passes through 4,-5 we can plug it in for x and y
-5=-2/3(4)+b
-5=(-8/3)+b then add 8/3 to both sides
-5 is also -15/3
-7/3=b

It took an hour to now a lawn using a mower with 14 inches blade. How long will it take using a mower with 12 inches wide
If the time taken by 14 inches wide is one hour then the blade of 12 inches wide will take 1 hour 17 minutes to mow a lawn.
What is width?
The width of something is the measurement of one side of a body. It is generally less than length of that body or shape.
How to calculate time?
We have been given time of 1 hour if blade is 14 inches wide and we have to calculate time taken by 12 inches wide blade:
It will be as 14/12* 1 hour
=14/12
=1.167
=1.17 hour
Hence the time taken by the blade of 12 inches wide will be 1 hour and 17 minutes.
Answer:
70 mins
Step-by-step explanation:
This is called inverse proportion.
1hr : 14in
x hr : 12in
Ask yourself, what do you do to 14 to get 12? To find this out, we do:
14 / 12 = 1.16666667
Since the blade is smaller, it will take longer. So, we times 1hr by 1.16666667 to get
1.16666667 hrs =
1.17 hours (rounded)
This is 70.2 mins, or 1hr 10 mins

a jet bomber traveling 500 mph arrived over its Target at the same time as its fighter jet escorted which left the same fate 2.5 hours after the bomb took off how many hours did the bomber take to reach the target of the fighter jet travel at 60 miles per hour
Since the jet bomber arrived over its Target at the same time as its fighter jet escorted, it took the jet bomber 0.34 h to reach the target.
To find the number of hours, we need to solve simultaneous equations.
What are simultaneous equations?Simultaneous equations are pair of equations which contain two unknowns.
How to calculate the number of hours the bomber jet took off?Let
D = distance travelled by both bomber jet and fighter jet.t = time bomber jet took off v = speed of bomber jet. T = time fighter jet took off and V = speed of fighter jet.So, D = vt
D = 500t (1)
Also, D = VT
D = 60T (2)
Since jet bomber traveling 500 mph arrived over its Target at the same time as its fighter jet escorted which left the same fate 2.5 hours after the bomb took off.
T = t + 2.5
So, D = 60(t + 2.5) (3)
The required simultaneous equationsD = 500t (1)
D = 60(t + 2.5) (3)
Equating equations (1) and (3), we have
500t = 60(t + 2.5)
500t = 60t + 150
500t - 60t = 150
440t = 150
t = 150/440
t = 15/44
t = 0.34 h
So, it took the jet bomber 0.34 hours to reach the target.

Answer:
-70
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given this arithmetic sequence:
-2, -6, -10, -14, ...
And we want to find the 18th term in it.
The 18th term can be found using this formula:
1st term + common difference(desired term-1)
The desired term is the term that we are looking for. In this case, it would be the 18th term, so substitute 'desired term' with 18.
1st term + common difference(18-1)
So, let's find the first term and the common difference.
The 1st term is the first term (number) that appears in the sequence. In this case, that number would be -2.
The common difference can be found by doing second term minus first term.
Remember that we know that the first term is -2. The second term is the second number that appears in the sequence, which would be -6.
So, do -6 subtract -2.
-6 - - 2
-6 + 2
-4
The common difference is -4.
So, we can plug -2 and -4 into the formula.
-2 - 4(18-1)
Now, doing the order of operations, first, subtract 1 from 18.
-2-4(17)
Now multiply -4 and 17 together.
-2 -68
Subtract -68 from -2.
-70
The 18th term of the sequence is -70.
