Answer:

3/5

Step-by-step explanation:

avg in A = 41

avg in B = 38

combined avg of A and B = 36

Let a = number of people in group A.

Let b = number of people in group B.

The total number of people = a + b.

The sum of all ages in group A is 41a.

The sum of all ages in group B is 36b.

The sum of all ages in the combined group A and B is 38(a + b).

41a + 36b = 38(a + b)

41a + 36b = 38a + 38b

3a = 2b

a/b = 2/3

a/b + 1 = 2/3 + 1

a/b + b/b = 2/3 + 3/3

(a + b)/b = 5/3

b/(a + b) = 3/5

Travka [436]

Answer:

3 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number of hours the plumber was at the house, we need to solve for x.

22x + 50 = 116

22x = 116 - 50

22x = 66

22x/22 = 66/22

x = 3
