Working together, the job takes x hours to do.

If a lawn can be mowed with a push mower is 2 hours, then in 1 hour, you do 1/2 of the job.

If the same lawn can be mowed with a riding mower in 1 hour, then in 1 hour you do 1 job.

If the same lawn can be mowed by the two mowers together in x hours, then in 1 hour you get 1/x done.

1/2 + 1 = 1/x

3/2 = 1/x

x = 2/3

They take 2/3 of an hour. 2/3 * 60 min = 40 minutes.

Two sides of a triangle measure 5 inches and 9 inches. Which of the following is a measure of a possible 3rd side of the triangl
svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

B. 5 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because of the triangle inequality theorem which states "The sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the length of the third side." So, since 5+9 is 14 it has to be less than 14. Also, because 5+2 is 7 and that is not greater than 9 it has to be 5 inches.

Today, a bicycle rider rode her bike 5 1/2 miles to raise money for her school. Yesterday, she rode 6 1/4 miles her grandfather
Alex

Answer:

<em>.125 or 1/8</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is looking for the difference divided by the long ride. The long ride is 6 1/4 miles, so now we need to find the difference.

In order to do this, we take the larger distance and subtract the smaller distance.

We would take (Tip: Use decimals when you can. They are easier to work with ) 6.25 - 5.5 and we get .75 or 3/4 of a mile.

Now, we put .75 over 6.25 and simplify.

.125 or 1/8

Gerri spends 1/21 of her money on pencils and 2/21 on paper. What fraction of her money does she spend. Give the answer in simpl
BigorU [14]

Answer:

Gerri spends 1/7 (A).

Step-by-step explanation:

If Gerri spends 1/21 of her money on pencils and 2/21 of her money on paper, adding these two fractions together will give us the total fraction of her money that she spent.  Since 1/21 and 2/21 have the same denominator, we can add the numerators to get 3/21.  However, fractions must always be in simplest form, meaning if the numerator (top number) and denominator (bottom number) can both be divided evenly by the same factor, then the fraction can be simplied to lower numbers.  In this case the number 3 and the number 21 can both be divided evenly by 3:  (3÷3)/21÷3) = 1/7.
