Harry can rake the leaves in the yard 8 hours faster than his little brother Jimmy can.
<span>If they join to work together they can complete the job in 3 hours. </span>
<span>1/x + 1/(x - 8) = 1/3 </span>
<span>3(x - 8) + 3x = x(x - 8) </span>
<span>x^2 - 14x + 24 = 0 </span>
<span>(x - 12)(x - 2) = 0 </span>
<span>Solutions: </span>
<span>x = 2 </span>
<span>x = 12 </span>
<span>Jimmy can complete the job on his own in 12 hours.</span>
Answer:
20 fish.
Step-by-step explanation:
Convert ratio to fraction:
There were 5 / (5 + 2) = 5/7 of fish.
So number of fish = 5/7 * 28
= 20.
2(5*4)+2(4*3)+2(3*5)=94 sq.m (Orginial SA)
2(4*5)+2(5*6)+2(6*4)=148 sq.m (Total SA)
148-94=54 (New SA)
