<span>If John takes 9 hours to paint a barn, then he does 1/9th of a barn per hour. Similarly, Carl does 1/6th of a barn per hour. Together, they can do 1/9 + 1/6 , or 5/18ths of a barn per hour. Then 1 barn takes 1/(5/18), or 18/5ths hours with the two of them working together</span>

Davey built a bookshelf 36 in. long. Can the shelf hold a set of encyclopedias if there are 24 books and each book averages 5/4
grin007 [14]
Yes, the 36" shelf can hold all 24 books.  As 5/4=1.25" meaning, you take 1.25X24=30".  So 24 books only take up 30 inches of a 36 inch shelf.

A local high school held a two-day fundraiser selling lunches. The equations shown represent the amount of money the school coll
Over [174]

Answer:

  11

Step-by-step explanation:

The two equations appear to be ...

  • 12x +4y = 152
  • 32x +12y = 420

These can be solved for y using Cramer's rule:

  y = (152(32) -420(12))/(4(32) -12(12)) = -176/-16 = 11

The cost of the vegetarian lunch is 11.

_____

<em>Comment on Cramer's Rule</em>

For equations ...

  ax +by =c

  dx +ey = f

The solutions are ...

  x = (bf -ey)/(bd -ea)

  y = (cd -fa)/(bd -ea) . . . . note the denominators are the same expression

Once you memorize the pattern of products, this can be the simplest way to solve a pair of equations--especially if you only need one of the variable values.
