Frank can build a fence in twice the time it would take Sandy. Working together, they can build it in 7 hours. How long will it take each of them to do it alone?
Answer
If Frank and Sandy can build the fence in 7 hours, they must be building
1
7
of the fence every hour.
Now, let the amount of time it takes Sandy be
x
hours so that Frank takes
2
x
hours. Sandy can build
1
x
of the fence every hour and Frank can build
1
2
x
of the fence every hour.
We now have the following equation to solve.

Thus, Sandy takes

hours and Frank takes
21
hours.
Step-by-step explanation:
÷6
First, simplify the 6 to an improper fraction, which is:
Next rewrite the equation using the improper fraction:
÷
Now, in order to divide the fraction, we will need to flip the second fraction over, and then multiply the two fractions together. A great way to remember this is the phrase <em>Copy Dot Flip - </em>Copy the first fraction, put a dot for multiplication, and flip the second fraction.

Finally, multiply together and simplify/reduce if needed:

Answer:
y = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
x1 = -2
y1 = 7
slope (m) = 0
y - y1 = m ( x - x1 )
y - 7 = 0 ( x - (-2) )
y - 7 = 0 ( x + 2 )
y - 7 = 0
y = 7
Distance = speed x time
time = distance/speed
= 340/85
= 4h
