Answer: Time = 1.5hours or 1 hour 30minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

Carrie can inspect a case of watch in 5 hours

if n represent the task,

Carrie's rate C = n/5

James' rate J = n/3

Their combined rate is=n/5 + n/3 = 8n/15

Carrie After working one hour, he would have completed n/5 of the task.

Therefore, the remaining fraction of task is 4n/5

To complete the remaining fraction of task by the two of them, the time taken can be given as;

Work done = rate × time

Time = workdone/rate

Workdone = amount of task remaining = 4n/5

rate combined= 8n/15

Time = (4n/5)/(8n/15)

Time = 1.5hours or 1 hour 30minutes

An investor invested a total of $2,800 in two mutual funds. One fund earned 5% profit while the other earned 3% profit. If the i

Answer:

The amount invested in the mutual fund that earned 5% was $1,000

The amount invested in the mutual fund that earned 3% was $1,800

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the amount invested in the mutual fund that earned 5%

y ----> the amount invested in the mutual fund that earned 3%

we know that

x+y=2,800 ----> y=2,800-x ----> equation A

5\%=5/100=0.05

3\%=3/100=0.03

0.05x+0.03y=104 ----> equation B

Solve the system by substitution

substitute equation A in equation B

0.05x+0.03(2,800-x)=104

Solve for x

0.05x+84-0.03x=104

0.05x-0.03x=104-84

0.02x=20

x=\$1,000

<em>Find the value of y</em>

y=2,800-x

y=2,800-1,000=\$1,800

therefore

The amount invested in the mutual fund that earned 5% was $1,000 and the amount invested in the mutual fund that earned 3% was $1,800
