Answer:

8 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case, the speed would be given by the garbage collection / hour, therefore the two together, that is to say from the sum of both, would be 1/6 the speed and for the small truck it would be 1/24

So to calculate the speed of the big truck it would be:

1/24 + 1 / x = 1/6

1 / x = 1/6 - 1/24

1 / x = 0.125

x = 1 / 0.125

x = 8

Which means that only the big truck would take only 8 hours

Suppose you had to find 4 x 57. How are the expanded algorithm and the standard algorithm alike? And how are they different?
Nookie1986 [14]
The expanded algorithm is given as follows:

4 x 57 = (4 x 50) + (4 x 7) = 200 + 28 = 228


The standard algorithm is given as follows:

\ \ \ \ \ \ {_2}\\{ \ \ \ \ \ \ 5 \ 7} \\ \times \ \ \ \ \ 4 \\ = \overline{\underline{2\ 2\ 8}}
