<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

Burka [1]

Answer:

24 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the question, Patricia needs 10 yards of fabric to make curtains for her bedroom she also needs 3 yards of fabric to make a cover for her storage bench

So, she needs 13 yards

converting into feet

1 yard = 3 feet

13 yards x 3 = 39 feet

Now, she already has  15 feet of fabric.

Finding out the difference : 39 - 15= 24 feet

Therefore, she needs 24 feet more of fabric
