The carpenter makes 1/4 of the job per hour.

The assistant makes 1/6 of the job per hour.

When they work together, they make 1/4 + 1/6 = 6/24 + 4/24 = 10/24 = 5/12 of the job each hour.

Thus, it will take 12/5 = 2 2/5 hours = 2 hours and 24 minuets for them to finish the job working together.

Could you guys help me find the area of these please? i don't understand how to do this
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

for 9, the answer is 246.49

Step-by-step explanation:

This is area of a circle correct?

The formula is PI x radius squared.

3.14 x the radius, which is 5, squared

I am re-editing this

so sorry the answer is actually 78.54

The reason why it is 78.54 is that you need to square the radius before multiplying with PI.

Which equations support the fact that rational numbers are closed under subtraction? Select each correct answer
noname [10]

The rationals being closed under subtraction means that if we start with two rational numbers and subtract them, we get another rational number.  Choice c subtracts two rational numbers but gets the wrong answer, so isn't support for anything.  Choice b is rational too because the square root of 4 is 2.

Answer: b

A mouse traveled a total distance of StartFraction 3 Over 24 EndFraction of a mile in a maze over the past 3 hours. The mouse tr
Artemon [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that, a mouse covered a distance of 3/24 miles over a distance of 3 hours. Each hour, the mouse traveled the same distance. Distance traveled in 1 hour can be calculated by dividing 3/24 miles by 3. So,

d=\dfrac{\dfrac{3}{24}}{3}\\\\d=\dfrac{3}{24}\times \dfrac{1}{3}\\\\d=\dfrac{1}{24}\ \text{hours}

Matt calculations shows that the distance is 3/8 hours. While dividing 3/24 by 3, he doesn't take reciprocal of 3 as a result he get 9 on numerator and 24 on denominator. Simplified fraction of 9/24 is 3/8. But the correct answer should be 1/24 hours.
