You find the rates of each computer on its own...

One does the job in 55 minutes which we can say is 1/55

The other has a rate of 1/45.

The question wants to know how long it would take both working simultaneously to complete the job...

t/55+t/45=1

(9t+11t)/495=1

20t=495

t=24.75 minutes   (24:15)

Alchen [17]
The rate a computer works is 1/time. Working together, you add the rates.
Let new computer be x, old computer be y.
x = y - 7

\frac{1}{x} + \frac{1}{y} = \frac{1}{13} \\  \\ \frac{1}{y-7}+\frac{1}{y} = \frac{1}{13} \\  \\ \frac{2y-7}{y(y-7)} = \frac{1}{13} \\  \\ y(y-7) = 13(2y-7) \\  \\ y^2-33y+91 = 0 \\  \\ y = 29.96 \\  \\ x = y-7 = 29.96-7 = 22.96
Rounded to nearest tenth gives:
x = 23 hours

Umnica [9.8K]

Answer: the percent of study group students from outside the state is 13%

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of students in the young woman's study group that are from the town where the young woman's school is located is 7%

The total number of students in the young woman's study group that are from in-state (but not from the school's town) is 80%.

Since the rest are from outside the state, the percent of study group students from outside the state would be

100 - (80 + 7) = 100 - 87 = 13%
