Answer: 4/3 hours or 1 1/3 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are told that two mechanics, Martin and Gordon, are working on your car. Martin can complete the work in 4 hours, while Gordon can complete the work in 2 hours.

Since Martin can complete the work in 4 hours, that means in 1 hour, he will do 1/4 of the work.

Since Gordon can complete the work in 2 hours, that means in 1 hour, he'll do 1/2 of the job.

When they both work together, we will add their fraction of work done in one hour together. This will be:

= 1/4 + 1/2

= 3/4

This means that both of them will do 3/4 of the job in one hour. Then to get the time taken to get the whole job done, we divide 1 by 3/4. This will be:

= 1 ÷ 3/4

= 1 × 4/3

= 4/3 hours

= 1 hour 20 minutes.

What is the distance between points S and U if S is 2, 1 and U is 6, 8
balandron [24]

The distance formula is:

D = sqrt((x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2)

D= sqrt ((6-2)^2 + (8-1)^2)

D = sqrt(4^2 + 7^2)

D = sqrt( 16 + 49)

D = sqrt(65)

D = 8.06

Rounded to the beat tenth = 8.1 units.

The answer is C. 8.1 units
