The problem express that the fraction of time worked by the three people need to be equivalent to one person working full time. This means that the fraction need to add up to one. We know one person works ½ time on the project and another works one third 1/3 time.

Given:

A = the amount of time that the third person needs to work on the job to add up to one

1 = ½ +1/3 + A

1 – ½ - 1/3 = A

To subtract the fractions put them all over a common denominator. Use 3 * 2 as the denominator.

1=6/6, ½ = 3/6, 1/3 = 2/6

A = 6/6 – 3/6 – 2/6

<span>A = 1/6 , The third person  must work on the project</span>

ABC is a tangent to the circle below. O is the centre of the circle. Work out the size of angle 0. Give reasoning to justify you
Delvig [45]

Answer:

Θ = 46°

Step-by-step explanation:

the angle between a tangent and a radius at the point of contact is 90° , so

∠ ABO = 90°

since OB = OD ( radii of circle ) then Δ BOD is isosceles and

∠ OBD = ∠ ODB = 22°

the exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the 2 opposite interior angles.

∠ AOB is an exterior angle of the triangle , then

∠ AOB = 22° + 22° = 44°

the sum of the 3 angles in Δ AOB = 180° , then

Θ + 44° + 90° = 180°

Θ + 134° = 180° ( subtract 134° from both sides )

Θ = 46°
