Answer:

2.4 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let total work = X

Rate of work done = X ÷ time

Rate of A = X/4

Rate of B = X/6

If they work together, rate is the sum of their individual rates, i.e.

X/4 + X/6

= (3X + 2X)/12 (taking LCM)

=5X/12

Rate = X/time

5X/12 = X/time

time = X÷(5X/12)

time = X × 12/(5X)

time = 2.4 hours

Shortcut:

Product of individual times/sum of individual times

= (4×6)/(4+6)

=24/10

=2.4 hours

One fourth of the 120 students took wood shop. How many students did not take wood shop?
yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

90 students.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given 1/4 of the 120 students took woodshop, just take the 3/4 that didn't take it:

\frac{3}{4}(120)

Find common factors between 4 and 120 to simplify, so 4.

\frac{3}{1} (30)

Now multiple across to get 90.

Four more than three times n equals -5
Verizon [17]
3n+4=-5

do the opposite of adding 4. this means you have to subtract 4 from 4. whatever you do to the problem, you must do to the answer. now subtract 4 from -5.

-5-4=-9

since 4-4=0, we can take 4 out of the equation. now you have:

3n=-9

now divide -9 by 3

-9/3=-3

n=-3

hope this helps :)
