Answer: the older brother must work for 14 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of hours that the younger brother must work.

Two brothers decide that a 21-hour task is to be divided so that the older brother works twice as long as the younger brother. This means that the number of hours that the older brother must work is expressed as 2x.

Since the total number of hours is 21, then

x + 2x = 21

3x = 21

x = 21/3

x = 7

The number of hours that the older brother must work is

2x = 2 × 7 = 14 hours

Answer:

14 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the task 3x

The older bro does twice as younger so it would be 2x long and younger brother work x long

Since the totsl of work is 3x = 21 x woul be 21÷3 = 7

the older brother must work 2 × 7 = 14 hours long

Colin buys a car for £15500.
timama [110]

Answer:

£14889.30

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost of the car = £15500.

For the first year,

depreciation = £15500 x 1%

                     = £155

Its worth after the first year = £15500 - £155

                             = £15345

For the 2nd year,

depreciation = £15345 x 1%

                     = £153.45

Its worth after the second year = £15345 - £153.45

                                 = £15191.55

For the 3rd year,

depreciation = £15191.55 x 1%

                      = £151.9155

Its worth after the third year = £15191.55 - £151.9155

                                            = £15039.6345

For the 4th year,

depreciation = £15039.6345 x 1%

                     = £150.3963

Its worth after the fourth year = £15039.6345 - £150.3963

                                             = £14889.2382

Thus, the worth of the car in 4 years would be £14889.30

Find the missing number to make these fractions equal.<br><br> 3/4 = ?/8
babymother [125]

The answer is 6, reaosn is because 6/8 is not simplified, so if we divide both sides by 2 (the numerator and the denominator), we can get a simplified fraction, which is 3/4. Steps: 6/8, 6 divided by 2/8 divided by 2, 3/4.

Hope this helped!
