Answer:

3 hours and 20 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Jack's rate is 1 puzzle for every 5 hours, so his rate per hour is 1/5 of a puzzle per hour.

We need to find the rate of his brother so here is our equation,

1/5 + 1/x = 1/2

1/2 - 1/5 =1/x

3/10 = 1/x

3/ 3x = 3/10

3x=10

x= 3 and 1/3 hours

3 hours and 20 minutes

Which answer choice represents an equivalent number sentence of "49 - 12"?
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

A. 37 isn't a number sentence

B. 49 + (-12) = 49-12. They're the same thing  because 49 minus 12 can also be written as 49 plus negative 12

C. 49 + 12 doesn't equal 49-12

D. 12- 49 = -37 which isn't equivalent to 49-12.

Hope this helps!!!
