Two pieces of lengths 13/3 m and 3/5 m are cut off from a rope 15

1 answer:

5 0

Hello there! ;) The way you solve this type of problem is you must find common denominators. So simplify 13/3= 4 1/3. So we can do 1/3*5/5=5/15. Next we must do 3/5*3/3= 9/15. So add 5/15+9/15= 14/15. And add the 4+ 14/15= 4 14/15. So then you must subtract 15 - 4 14/15= 10 1/15 I believe. I believe 10 1/15 is the remainder of the rope. You might want to check in with someone else though.

Hope I help! :D

Paul can build a desk in 12

Answer:

288

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find how much of the desk each person can finish in 1 hour. Paul can finish 1/12 because he finishes the whole thing in 12 hours and Shawn can finish 1/8 because he finishes the whole thing in 8 hours.

Then find a common denominator and add those together to find how much they could do together in 1 hour.

2/24 + 3/24 = 5/24 So they can finish 5/24 of the desk in 1 hour if they work together.

So to finish 24/24 of the desk, they'll need to do 4 hours (20/24 of the desk) and 48 minutes (4/24 of the desk)

It asked for the number of minutes, so multiply 4 by 60 and add 48 to find the total number of minutes. 4*60 = 240 and 240 + 48 = 288

So it will take them 288 minutes to build the desk together.
