To solve this problem we will start by calculating time needed for each of them to fill the pool.
We have formula:
Volume = rate * time
Or
time = volume / rate
Wilma:
time = 9900 / 900
time = 11h
Betty:
time = 9900 / 500
time = 19.8h
Now we substract these two numbers:
time_difference = 19.8 - 11 = 8.8h
Betty needs 8.8 hours more than Wilma to fill the pool.
Yes, it is a rational number.
By using y=mx+b you get y=-3/8x-17/8
Answer:
when both bottom numbers on a fraction are the same at the lowest form
Step-by-step explanation:
example: 2/4 + 6/8 the common denomenator is 8 as both numbers go into it and you only have to times by 2 so answer would be 10/8 which is also 1 2/8
