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!

Work out the value of x
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

117 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

So we already know that one angle is 38 degrees, so we have that one. The angle, 101 is exterior, and we have to subtract 180 from that to get the interior angle. We get a difference of 79. Since the sum of a triangle's interior angles are 180, we have to add 38+79 to get 117. Then, we have to subtract it from 180 to get the value of the interior angle as 63 degrees. Because x is on the outside, we have to again subtract 63 from 180 to get the missing value of x as 117.
