In 4 hours Bethany did the whole fraction 1 of the house.
In 1 hour he would do 1/4 of it.
In 3 hours Colin did the whole fraction 1 of the house.
<span>In 1 hour he would do 1/3 of it.
</span>
In 1 hour they would both do (1/4 + 1/3)
If it takes both of them x hours to finish 1 whole fraction of the house.
In 1 hour they will both do 1/x
That means that:
1/x = 1/4 + 1/3
That is the equation. x can be solved for.
Answer:
So like I shouldn't represent with a letter? I should use 2?
Ummm....did you mean like what is the answer to 6x100?
Step-by-step explanation:
by using similarity and enlargement
10/8 = 7+y/7
70=56+8y
8y=14
y= 7/4
10/8 = 5+x/5
50=40+8x
x = 8/10 = 4/5
