At times, latitudes with values higher than<u> 66.5</u> degrees can have ~ 24 hours of continuous sunshine.

Locations above the Arctic Circle (north of latitude 66.5 degrees, 90 degrees minus the tilt of the Earth's axis) are exposed to 24-hour sunlight. Below the Arctic Circle (latitude 66.5 degrees south), there is 24-hour darkness.

When at the equator, the sun is directly above – at the poles, the sun is on the horizon. However, regardless of the current location (from the pole to the equator), all parallels are bisected, so we have 12 hours a day and 12 hours a night in all locations.

sarah can complete a project in 90 minutes and her sister betty can complete it in 120 minutes if they both work on the project

Answer:

It will take them approximately 51.43 minutes to complete the project together

Step-by-step explanation:

This is what is called a "shared job" problem.

The best way to work on them is to start by finding the "portion" of the job done by each of the people in the unit of time.

So, for example, Sarah completes the project in 90 minutes, so in the unit of time (that is 1 minute) she completed 1/90 of the total project

Betty completes the project in 120 minutes, so in the unit of time (1 minute) she completes 1/120 of the total project.

We don't know how long it would take for them to complete the project when working together, so we call that time "x" (our unknown).

Now, when they work together completing the entire job in x minutes, in the unit of time they would have done 1/x of the total project.

In the unite of time, the fraction of the job done together (1/x) should equal the fraction of the job done by Sarah (1/90) plus the fraction of the job done by Betty. This in mathematical form becomes:

$\frac{1}{x} =\frac{1}{90} +\frac{1}{120}\\\frac{1}{x} =\frac{4}{360} +\frac{3}{360}\\\frac{1}{x} =\frac{7}{360} \\x=\frac{360}{7} \\x=51.43\,\,min$
