Answer:
I'm pretty sure it's "No, Claire should have multiplied the second equation by negative two instead of positive two in step one."
Step-by-step explanation:
A=1/10, b=1/12, c=1/15 (these are the rates for each worker...)
1.)
2(1/10)+4(1/12)+t/15=1
1/5+1/3+t/15=1
(3+5+t)/15=1
3+5+t=15
8+t=15
t=7
So it would take c 7 hours to finish the job.
2.)
1/40-1/60
(3-2)/120
1/120
The drain rate is 1/60. So you will need to find t when the tank is empty, while starting at 2/3 capacity...
2/3-t/60=0
(40-t)/60=0
40-t=0
t=40
It would take 40 minutes to empty the tank when it is 2/3 full.
5 MPH difference. So just divide the 460 miles difference by 5, and there answer is 92.
Answer: 92 Hours
the least possible quotient of the two numbers would be C.) 111
We have to multiply numerator and denominator by: √(25-h)+ 5:
= 1/10 =
0.1
