Hello,

A good first step to take would be to calculate how much of a barrel John and Mary can drink together in 1 day.


If John can drink 1 barrel in 6 days, then every day he can drink 1/6 of a barrel.
If Mary can drink 1 barrel in 12 days, then every day she can drink 1/12 of a barrel. 

Every day, the total that John and Mary can drink will be (1/6) + (1/12) = (1/4) of a barrel.

If we want to know how many days it will take for them to drink 1 barrel of water together, and they drink 1/4 of a gallon every day, we do 

(1) / (1/4) = 1 * (4/1) = 4 days

It will take 4 days for John and Mary to drink 1 barrel together.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

  (a, b, c) = (30, 50, 55)

Step-by-step explanation:

If we rewrite the ratio of A to B so it has the same number of ratio units as in the ratio of A to C, we have ...

  A : B = 3 : 5 = 6 : 10

  A : C = 6 : 11

so ...

  A : B : C = 6 : 10 : 11

The total number of ratio units is 27. They stand for 135 real units, so each one stands for 135/27 = 5 real units.

Multiplying the last ratio statement by 5, we find the lengths of each of the sides.

  A : B : C = 6 : 10 : 11 = 30 : 50 : 55

The side lengths are (a, b, c) = (30, 50, 55).

The greater of two numbers is 5 more than the smaller. If the
xenn [34]

Answer:

First number = 4

Second number = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

If the first number = x, the second number = x + 5.

The calculation can be expressed as follows:

x + 2(x + 5) = 22

First, expand the bracket 2(x + 5):

x + 2x + 10 = 22

Combine like terms:

3x + 10 = 22

Subtract 10 from both sides:

3x = 12

Divide both sides by 3:

x = 4

First number = 4

Second number = 4 + 5 = 9
