For problems such as this, it can be handy to remember that
.. 1/(1/a +1/b) = ab/(a +b)
The time required to do a job is the inverse of the rate at which the job is done. Rates are added when people work together (in math problems, not in real life).
(2:44)*(3:14)/(2:44 +3:14) = 1:28:52.3
___
2:44 = 41/15 hours = 82/30 hours
3:14 = 97/30 hours
Using the formula above, we have a "working together" time of
.. (82/30)*(97/30)/(82/30 +97/30) = 82*97/(30*179) = 3977/2685 . . . hours
.. = 1 hour 28 156/179 minutes
.. = 1 hour 28 minutes 52 52/179 seconds

Answer:
<h3>t = 15d</h3>
Step-by-step explanation:
You must first know that 1 week = 7days
If Sophie practices the piano 105 minutes in 1 week, this can be expressed as;
105 minutes = 7days
to calculate the total time t that she practices for any number of days, d, we will say;
t minutes = d days.
Solving both expression;
105 minutes = 7days
t minutes = d days.
Cross multiply;
7 * t = 105 * d
7t = 105d
Divide both sides by 7;
7t/7 = 105d/7
t = 15d
Hence a proportional equation for t in terms of d that matches the context is expressed as t = 15d
We have to calculate the 20% of $30.75
The 20% of $30.75=(20/100)*$30.75=(20*$30.75)/100=$6.15
The sale price of the jacket was $6.15.
The white Christmas tree is 7.55m
Green Christmas tree is twice as tall as white Christmas tree: 7.55 * 2 = 15.1m
High golden Christmas tree: 15.1m - 0.454m = 14.646m
The total height of 3 Christmas trees is: 7.55m + 15.1m + 14.646m = 37.296m
Choose: A 37.296m
2+3.25g=y
G would be the independent variable, which means the total cost would depend on it since it depends on the number of games you bowl. Y could be any variable, such as T or C.
2+3.25g=y
