<u>Answer:</u>

The older repear will harvest in 6 hrs

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given a field can be harvested in 1 hr with 2 reapers

Consider the total field to be 1

Let x be the time of older’s reaper

The field can be harvested in 1.2 hr with newer reaper alone

Older’s time of harvesting = \frac{1}{x} per hour

Newer’s time of harvesting = \frac{1}{1.2}per hour

Total (Older+Newer) = 1 = {\frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{1.2}}

 \frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{1.2}=1

 \frac{1.2+x}{1.2 x}=1

1.2 + x = 1.2x

1.2 = 0.2x

x = 6

Therefore, older repear will harvest in 6 hrs

Simplify this expression <br> (1/3 + 11/12)×2/3
alisha [4.7K]

1/3 = 4/12

(4/12 + 11/12) * 2/3

= 15/12 * 2/3

15/ 12 can also be written as 5/4

5/4 * 2/3 = 10/12

10/12 can be simplified into 5/6

Therefore, the answer is 5/6
