<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is:

It will take 42.35 minutes to weed the garden together.

<h2>Why?</h2>

To solve the problem, we need to use the given information about the rate for both Laura and her husband. We know that she can weed the garden in 1 hour and 20 minutes (80 minutes) and her husband can weed it in 1 hour and 30 minutes (90 minutes), so we need to combine both's work and calculate how much time it will take to weed the garden together.

So, calculating we have:

Laura's rate:

\frac{1garden}{80minutes}

Husband's rate:

\frac{1garden}{90minutes}

Now, writing the equation we have:

Laura'sRate+Husband'sRate=CombinedRate

\frac{1}{80}+\frac{1}{90}=\frac{1}{time}

\frac{1*90+1*80}{7200}=\frac{1}{time}

\frac{170}{7200}=\frac{1}{time}

\frac{17}{720}=\frac{11}{time}

\frac{17}{720}=\frac{1}{time}

\frac{17}{720}*time=1

time=1*\frac{720}{17}=42.35

Hence, we have that it will take 42.35 minutes to weed the garden working together.

Have a nice day!

The point C(5, 4) is translated 9 units down.
Naily [24]

Answer:

The new point is at (5, -5)

Step-by-step explanation:

When a point is being translated down, they are being subtracted on the y-value. So all you have to do is subtract 9 from 4 and we end up with -5, our new y-value.

(5, -5)
