Algebra.Com's Answer #278158 by josmiceli(19441)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! 10W flows at rate = (1/2) x 5W \n" ); document.write( "15W flows at rate = (1/2) x 10W \n" ); document.write( "20 W flows at rate = (1/2) x 15W \n" ); document.write( "------------------------- \n" ); document.write( "I can rewrite this data as: \n" ); document.write( "(1) 5W flows at 2 x 10W \n" ); document.write( "(2) 10W flows at 2 x 15W \n" ); document.write( "(3) 15W flows at 2 x 20W \n" ); document.write( "-------------------- \n" ); document.write( "I can combine (1) and (2) to say \n" ); document.write( "5W flows at 2 x (2 x 15W) = 4 x 15W \n" ); document.write( "-------------------- \n" ); document.write( "Now I can combine this result with (3) \n" ); document.write( "5W flows at rate 4 x (2 x 20W) = 8 x 20W \n" ); document.write( "-------------------- \n" ); document.write( "So, 5W flows 8 times as fast as 20W \n" ); document.write( " |
