Answer: 3.4 h

Explanation:

1) The basis to solve this kind of problems is that the speed of working together is equal to the sum of the individual speeds.

This is: speed of doing the project together = speed of Cody working alone + speed of Kaitlyin working alone.

2) Speed of Cody

Cody can complete the project in 8 hours => 1 project / 8 h

3) Speed of Kaitlyn

Kaitlyn can complete the project in 6 houres => 1 project / 6 h

4) Speed working together:

1 / 8 + 1 / 6  = [6 + 8] / (6*8  = 14 / 48 = 7 / 24

7/24 is the velocity or working together meaning that they can complete 7 projects in 24 hours.

Then, the time to complete the entire project is the inverse: 24 hours / 7 projects ≈ 3.4 hours / project.Meaning 3.4 hours to complete the project.

Denote all work that should be done as 1. Then if Cody can complete the project in 8 hours, he can do \frac{1}{8} per hour and if Kaitlyn can complete the project in 6 hours, then she can do \frac{1}{6} per hour. Together they complete \frac{1}{8}+\frac{1}{6} per hour.

Simplify this expression:

\dfrac{1}{8} +\dfrac{1}{6} =\dfrac{3}{24} +\dfrac{4}{24}=\dfrac{7}{24}.

Then it will take them to complete the project together \dfrac{1}{\frac{7}{24}} =\dfrac{24}{7} =3\dfrac{3}{7} hours

Answer: It will take them to complete the project together 3\dfrac{3}{7} hours.

seraphim [82]

Answer:

The measure of JK is 60

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the points F, G, and H are the midpoints of the sides of triangle JKL , FG = 37, KL = 48, and GH = 30.

The point F is midpoint of JK, point G is midpoint of KL and the point H is midpoint of LJ as shown in figure .

According to the midpoint theorem, the line connecting the midpoints of two sides is parallel to the third and its length is half of the third si
