Sally alone can paint the room in 7 hours.

In 7 hours Sally alone does the job.

In 1 hour   Sally would do (1/7) of the job.


Steve can paint it alone in 9 hours.

In 9 hours Steve alone does the job.

In 1 hour   Steve would do (1/9) of the job.

Both working together in 1 hour would do:   (1/7) + (1/9).    

(1/7)*(9/9) + (1/9)*(7/7) = 9/63 + 7/63 = (9 + 7) / 63 = 16/63

In 1 hour both will have done (16/63) of the job.

16/63 of the job will be done in 1 hour by both.

Therefore  a 1 whole fraction of the job will be done in:   1 hour ÷ 16/63

                             =   1 hour × 63/16

                             = 63/16 hours = 3.9375 hours

It would take both 63/16 hours or 3.9375 hours.

How much part can sally paint in an hour ?
a ÷ 7 = a/7

And what about Steve ?
a ÷ 9 = a/9

Where, a is the total area of the room.

So, let the time taken by both of them to paint the room together be 't'

So,
t(a/7 + a/9) = a
t(9a/63 + 7a/63) = a
t(16a/63) = a
t = 63/16 ≈ 4 hr

Which choice provides the most relevant detail?
aleksklad [387]

Option B, supplement and convert it into gas to use as fuel is the correct answer.

The best option is B because, compared to conventional yoghurt, Greek yoghurt demands up to four times as much milk to make. Greek yoghurt also generates more acid whey, that is challenging to dispose. During the production of yoghurt, a lot of gases are released along with the acid, which farmers have discovered can be utilized as a protein in livestock feed.

Additionally, scientists are attempting to reuse this acid. They are attempting to employ these pricey yet worthwhile conservation techniques. Nutritionists discuss Greek yogurt's advantages. As a result, choice B is correct.

Can you construct a triangle that has side lengths 2 yd, 9 yd, and 10 yd?
yan [13]

Yes


The rule to check if a triplet of numbers can represent the sides of a triangle is the following: the sum of the length of two sides must exceed the third one.


This happens for all possible couples in your case:


2+9=11>10


2+10=12>9


9+10=19>2
