It will take both of them 2 11/12 hours to complete the room

<h3>Fractions and proportions</h3>

Fractions are written as a ratio of two integers. For instance a/b is a fraction.

Let the time it will take them to complete the job together be "x" such that;

1/x = 1/5 + 1/7

Simplify

1/x = 7+5/35

1/x = 12/35

Cross multiply

12x = 35

x = 35/12

x = 2 11/12 hours

Therefore it will take both of them 2 11/12 hours to complete the room

3x-1/5=x+1/3 pls help me
RoseWind [281]

Answer:

x=4/15

Step-by-step explanation:

first you need to make common denominators for 1/5 and 1/3

the common denominator is 15

5*3=15, 3*5=15. 1*3=3, 1*5=5

new equation:3x-3/15=x+5/15

now subtract x from both sides: 3x-3/15=x+5/15

                                                     -x          -x

                                                     2x-3/15=5/15

now you can add 3/15 to 5/15

2x=8/15

now for the last step, divide by 2 because there are 2 x's

2x/2=x         8/15 /2=4/15

x=4/15

What is 2 to the power of 4 over 3 equal to? (5 points)
ryzh [129]

Answer:

The answer is the option C

cube root of 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that

a^{\frac{x}{y}} =\sqrt[y]{a^{x}}

in this problem we have

a^{\frac{x}{y}}=2^{\frac{4}{3}}

therefore

2^{\frac{4}{3}} =\sqrt[3]{2^{4}}=\sqrt[3]{16}

Solve<br> h-w<br> Solve m = for the<br> 8<br> variable h.<br> I
Ilya [14]

Answer:

1) m = h - w/8

Subtract h from both sides.

m - h = -w/8

Subtract m from both sides.

-h = -m - w/8

Divide all terms by -1.

h = m + w/8.

2) m = h - w/8

Get rid of the denominator 8 by multiplying 8/1 to all terms.

8m = 8h - w

Add w on both sides and subtract 8m from both sides.

w = 8h - 8m

3) w = x + y/z

Get rid of the denominator z by multiplying it to all terms.

wz = xz + y

Subtract xz from both sides of the equation.

wz - xz = y OR y = wz - xz

4) w = x + y/z

Subtract x from both sides.

w - x = y/z

Get rid of the denominator by multiplying it to all terms.

wz - xz = y

Now factor the expression wz - xz.

z(w - x) = y

Divide both sides by w - x.

z = y / w - x

This is read as z equals to y divided by w minus x.

5) The area of a triangle is A = 1/2bh

First, get rid of the denominator by multiplying both sides by 2.

2A = bh

To find b, divide both sides by h.

2A/h = b

6) P = kt/v

Multiply both sides by v.

Pv = kt

Divide both sides by t.

Pv/t = k OR k = Pv/t.
