Let us say that x is the total amount of time it will take if they work together.

From the given statement above, we know that the rate of Irina working alone is 1 job / 4 hours. While that of Paulo is 1 job / 3 hours. Where 1 job indicates to the job of completely painting the room. So adding the two rates would result in 1 job / x hours. Therefore:

1 / 4 + 1 / 3 = 1 / x

Multiplying both sides with 12 x:

(1 / 4 + 1 / 3 = 1 / x) 12 x

3 x + 4 x = 12

7 x = 12

x = 1.71 hours

So working together, they can paint the room for 1.71 hours.

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

We'll use Natasha's location as 0 on a number line. To the left of her, 51/20 would be negative and 25/4 would be positive.

To find how far apart the dogs are, we would need to add the absolute value of each number:

|-51/20| + |25/4| however, this can also be rewritten as:

25/4 - (-51/20)
