Answer:

Alicia will take 5 hours to clean the barn.

Step-by-step explanation:

John and Alicia are asked to clean the barn.

John can clean the barn alone in 3 hours.

So work done in one hour = \frac{1}{3}

Let Alicia takes x hours to clean the barn alone so work done in one hour by Alicia = \frac{1}{x}

Now it is given in the question that together they can clean the barn in 1\frac{7}{8} hour or \frac{15}{8} hours.

So work done together in one hour = \frac{1}{\frac{15}{8} }=\frac{8}{15}

Now we know work done in one hour by John + work done in one hour by Alicia = work done in one hour by both.

\frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{3}=\frac{8}{15}

\frac{3+x}{3x}=\frac{8}{15}

15(3+x) = 8 (3x) [By cross multiplication]

45 + 15x = 24x - 15x

45 = 9x

x = \frac{45}{9} = 5

Therefore, Alicia will take 5 hours to clean the barn by herself.

Find the missing angle on a quadrilateral. Angle C equals 80 degrees, Angle D equals 90 degrees, and angle E equals 135 degrees.
padilas [110]
All quadrilateral angles have to add up to a total of 360°, so we just need to add the angles we already have and subtract that from 360.
135+90+80=305
360-305=55 so your answer is 55!

Answer:

YZ = 8.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Since RY is an angle bisector then the ratio of the sides of the triangle are equal to the corresponding ratio of the base, that is

\frac{YX}{YZ} = \frac{XR}{ZR} , substitute values

\frac{11.9}{YZ} = \frac{7}{5} ( cross- multiply )

7YZ = 59.5 ( divide both sides by 7 )

YZ = 8.5

cupoosta [38]

Answer:

If you were to make a 360 degree circle and minus the 50 thats already there you get 310 the right angle on angle 5 is 90 degrees because its a right angle so then the 310-90=220 the obtuse angle on angle 2 is 180 so 220-180=40 lastly you share those forty between angles 3 and 4 and the solution is your answer.
