Let x be the time required to do the job when they work together.
1/x = 1/9 + 1/10 = 19/90
x = 90/19 = 4.7 hours

ikadub [295]

X-1/2=15 1/4

15 1/4 = 15*4 + 1 = 61/4

61/4

x - 1/2 = 61/4

Hi, What is the lowest positive integer greater than 1, which when divided by 5 or 8 leaves a remainder of 1

ludmilkaskok [199]

Very interesting question!

Let's try to get something that would work for just 5 for now.
Any of these numbers would leave a remainder of 1 when divided by just 5:
6, 11, 16, 21, 26, 31, 36, 41, 46, 51, 56, 61, 66, 71, 76, 81, 86, ...
Notice that they all look like 5*(something) + 1. Basically, they are all multiples of 5 plus 1.

Let's see what would work for just 8:
9, 17, 25, 33, 41, 49, 57, 65, 73, 81, 89, ...

Are there any matches... AHA! It's 81. This is the lowest positive integer greater than 1 that follows the rule for both 5 and 8.

Does anyone know the answer to this scale and unit conversion GED math problem? Thank you very much!

Answer:

Flour $5\dfrac{1}{2}\ c$

Sugar $2\dfrac{2}{3}\ c$

Butter $1\dfrac{1}{2}\ c$

Eggs $2$

Baking powder $7\ t$

Vanilla extract $3\ t$

Step-by-step explanation:

There will be 16 people at the party. Each person will eat 3 cookies, so all people will eat $16\cdot 3=48$ cookies.

Given cookie recipe makes 24 cookies, so to make 48 cookies you need

$48:24=2$ portions.

Thus,

1 portion 2 portions

Flour $2 \dfrac{3}{4}\ c$ $2\dfrac{3}{4}\cdot 2=2\cdot 2+\dfrac{3}{4}\cdot 2=4+\dfrac{3}{2}=4+1 \dfrac{1}{2}=5\dfrac{1}{2}\ c$

Sugar $1\dfrac{1}{3}\ c$ $1\dfrac{1}{3}\cdot 2=1\cdot 2+\dfrac{1}{3}\cdot 2=2+\dfrac{2}{3}=2\dfrac{2}{3}\ c$

Butter $\dfrac{3}{4}\ c$ $\dfrac{3}{4}\cdot 2=\dfrac{3}{2}=1\dfrac{1}{2}\ c$

Eggs $1$ $1\cdot 2=2$

Powder $3\dfrac{1}{2}\ t$ $3\dfrac{1}{2}\cdot 2=3\cdot 2+\dfrac{1}{2}\cdot 2=6+1=7\ t$

Vanilla $1\dfrac{1}{2}\ t$ $1\dfrac{1}{2}\cdot 2=1\cdot 2+\dfrac{1}{2}\cdot 2=2+1=3\ t$
