Where 1/4 represents Bob and 1/6 represents Ted...
1/4x + 1/6x = 1
Multiply the two so there is no fraction by the GCF of 12. 
3x + 2x = 12
Add 3x and 2x.
5x = 12
Divide by 5.
x = 12
Plug this value in.
With that, the answer is 2 hours and 24 minutes with x = 12 meaning 144 minutes.

If PQ=8 and Q lies at -13 where could P be located?
choli [55]

Answer:

In the given figure the point on segment PQ is twice as from P as from Q is. What is the point? Ans is (2,1).

Step-by-step explanation:

There is really no need to use any quadratics or roots.

( Consider the same problem on the plain number line first.  )

How do you find the number between 2 and 5 which is twice as far from 2 as from 5?

You take their difference, which is 3. Now splitting this distance by ratio 2:1 means the first distance is two thirds, the second is one third, so we get

4=2+23(5−2)

It works completely the same with geometric points (using vector operations), just linear interpolation: Call the result R, then

R=P+23(Q−P)

so in your case we get

R=(0,−1)+23(3,3)=(2,1)

Why does this work for 2D-distances as well, even if there seem to be roots involved? Because vector length behaves linearly after all! (meaning |t⋅a⃗ |=t|a⃗ | for any positive scalar t)

Edit: We'll try to divide a distance s into parts a and b such that a is twice as long as b. So it's a=2b and we get

s=a+b=2b+b=3b

⇔b=13s⇒a=23s
