Answer:

9 people is 9/4 = 2.25 times more people than 4 people. So, they can do it faster. 3 hours/2.25 = 1.33 hours 1.33 hours x 60 minutes/hour = 80 minutes

Answer: 1 hour 20 minutes

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Let's figure out how long it would take 1 person to dig the hole and then divide that number by 9 (since they are sharing the workload).

\dfrac{1}{4}x=3\qquad \implies \qquad x = 12\quad \text{It takes 12 hours for 1 person}\\\\\\\dfrac{12\ \text{(for 1 person)}}{9\ \text{(people)}}\quad =1\dfrac{1}{3}\quad =\large\boxed{1\ hour\ 20\ minutes}

Find the greatest common factor of 36 and 54
8090 [49]

Hey there!

To find the greatest common factor you will need to find all the factors of 36 and 54. (A factor is a number that can be divided into another number).

54 - 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 27.

36 - 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18.

As you can see here, the factor that is the greatest is 18. Therefore, that is your answer.

Hope this helps! :)

8. Write the equation of a line that is perpendicular to the given line and that passes through the
avanturin [10]
Y - 3 = 8/3(x + 2)...the slope here is 8/3. A perpendicular line will have a negative reciprocal slope. All that means is " flip " the slope and change the sign. So our perpendicular line will have a slope of -3/8

y - y1 = m(x - x1)
slope(m) = -3/8
(-2,3)....x1 = -2 and y1 = 3
now we sub
y - 3 = - 3/8(x - (-2)...not done yet
y - 3 = -3/8(x + 2) <===
