Answer:

t/8 + t/7 = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given in the question that,

time require for Jose to paint the house = 7 hours

time require for Brandon to paint the house = 8 hours

Suppose t means Full house painted.

<h3>To solve the question we have to figure out how much each of them can paint in ONE hour.</h3>

7 hours----t

1 hour ---- t/7

8 hours----t

1 hour ---- t/8

<h3>Equation</h3>

t/8 + t/7 = 1 (in one hour)

(7t + 8t)/8(7) = 1

15t/56 = 1

15t = 56

t = 56/15

t = 3.73 hours

If a &lt; 0 and c &gt; b, circle the expression that is greater:
matrenka [14]

Answer:

The expression that is greater is a (b - c)

Step-by-step explanation:

  • a < 0 and c > b, this means <u>(by the addition property)</u> that c - c > b - c⇒0 > b - c

so for the product <u>a(b - c) </u>we would have a multiplication of a negative number <em>a</em> and another negative number <em>(b - c)</em>. We know that the result of the <u>multiplication of two negative numbers  is a positive number.</u>

Therefore, a (b - c) > 0

  • a < 0 and c > b, this means <u>by the addition property</u> that c - b > b - b⇒ c - b > 0

so for <u>a(c - b)</u>, we have the negative number <em>a</em> multiplied by the positive number <em>(c - b). </em>We know that the result of the <u>multiplication of a negative number by a positive number is negative. </u>

<u>Therefore  a (c - b) < 0</u>

Thus, the expression that is greater is the positive one which is a (b - c)

scoray [572]
$15 + $32.50 + 8% = $51.30

15 + 32.50 = 47.50

8% × 47.50 = 3.80

47.50 + 3.80 = 51.30

How do you convert 7/6 into a mixed number
Natali [406]
Wel its kinda difficult to say but look on how much times 6 can fit into 7 which is 1 but that will be 6,so in order to become seven you need 1 which is our left over number,so in the end you will get 1 whole and 1/6 and you use the leftover number as your numerator and just leave the 6 as it was.Whoof that was long but its no nearly as long as i explain it.
