Answer:

There is a formula for this:

[Worker 1 Time * Worker 2 Time] / [Worker 1 Time + Worker 2 Time]

[2 * 1.5] / [2 + 1.5] = 3.0 / 3.5

= 0.8571428571 Hours =

51.43 minutes

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1 job / 2 hours + 1 job / 1.5 hours = 1 job / x  When they work together.

1/2 + 1/1.5 = 1/x                Basic Equation. Change to decimal form

0.5 + 0.6666 = 1/x          Add like terms on the left

1.1666666 = 1/x              Multiply by x on both sides.

1.1666667 x = 1               Divide by 1.16666667

x = 1 / 1.166667               Do the division.

x = 0.8571428              

x = 6/7 of an hour.

This kind of question will <em>always</em> produce an answer that is less than the smallest number.

So the answer must be smaller than 2 hours or 1.5 hours.

Alex made an eyeglass case and sold it for $12.00. He spent $1.29 on felt and $2.75 on a needle and thread. What was his profit?
madreJ [45]
D because 1.29 plus 2.75 is 4.04(the money that he used to make the case) and subtract that with $12 and you get $7.96 as the profit.
