Answer:

It will take them 3.43 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let T denote the total cookies that need to be cocked. Observe that:

  1. If Rosanne finishes the cookies in 6 hours, that means that she can make \frac{T}{6} cookies per hour.
  2. If Dorothy finishes the cookies in 8 hours, that means that she can make \frac{T}{8} cookies per hour.

Then, by 1) and 2), if they work together would we able to make

\frac{T}{6}+\frac{T}{8}=\frac{8T+6T}{48}=\frac{14}{48}T=\frac{7}{24}T

cookies per hour.

Therefore, in order to finish the T cookies they will need \frac{24}{7}\approx3.43 hours

Figure 1 is dilated to get Figure 2.
Anastasy [175]
Answer: 2.25

Divide the corresponding values. You'll divide figure 2's length over figure 1's corresponding length. So 18/8 = 2.25

This means each side of figure 2 is 2.25 times larger than the corresponding side for figure 1

dedylja [7]
Let x the age of John
Amy's age = x + 9

John's age + Amy's age = 23
x+(x+9)= 23
