Answer:

It takes 30 minutes

Step By Step:

The rate of Glenn in finishing a job would be equivalent to:

Rate (G) = 1

job / 20 minutes

While the rate of Veronika is:

Rate (V) = 1

job / x---> x is the unknown

Where 1 job for Glenn means completely cleaning his room while 1 job for Veronika means pulling out everything. Therefore the equation to use would be:

1 / 20 – 1 /

x = 1 / 60

The rate of

Veronika is subtracted from the rate of Glenn since Veronika is slowing Glenn

down. Solving for x:

Multiply both

sides by 60 x

(1 / 20 – 1 /

x = 1 / 60) * 60 x

3 x – 60 = x

2 x = 60

x = 30

Therefore it

takes 30 minutes for Veronika to pull everything out.

borishaifa [10]

Answer:

W_{h}= 4.275yd

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

wide=20yd

length=40yd

Hedge area  A_{h}=171yd^{2}

If the area of rectangle is A=base * hight and our case L*W. then:

A_{h}=171yd^{2}=40yd*W_{h}

So W_{h}=\frac{A_{h} }{L} =171yd^{2}/40yd=4.275yd
