Answer:

They will take 6 minutes to do the job together.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

It is given that the time taken by one person to do a job is 15 minutes.

The time taken by another person to do the same job is 10 minutes.

Let T represent the time taken when they both work together.

Therefore the required equation is:

\frac{1}{T}=\frac{1}{15}+\frac{1}{10}

\Rightarrow\frac{1}{T}=\frac{2+3}{30}

\Rightarrow\frac{1}{T}=\frac{5}{30}

\Rightarrow\frac{1}{T}=\frac{1}{6}

\Rightarrow T=6

Hence, they will take 6 minutes to do the job together.

Levart [38]

Answer:

Step 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

(5 - 2)^ 2 + 23 * 4

Required:

Determine the first step where she made mistake

Her Step 1:

(3)^ 2 + 23 * 4 --- This is correct because she solved the bracket first

Her Step 2:

9 + 23 * 4 --- This is correct because she solved 3^2 as 9

Her Step 3:

9 + 9 * 4 --- This is incorrect because 23 * 4 is not equivalent to 9 * 4

Hence, her first mistake is in step 3.

The correct expression would have been

9 + 92

Then

= 101
