Answer:
2.4 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Let total work = X
Rate of work done = X ÷ time
Rate of A = X/4
Rate of B = X/6
If they work together, rate is the sum of their individual rates, i.e.
X/4 + X/6
= (3X + 2X)/12 (taking LCM)
=5X/12
Rate = X/time
5X/12 = X/time
time = X÷(5X/12)
time = X × 12/(5X)
time = 2.4 hours
Shortcut:
Product of individual times/sum of individual times
= (4×6)/(4+6)
=24/10
=2.4 hours
Answer:
Evening walk is shorter.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given that a nature center offers 2 guided walks. The morning walk is two-third mile. The evening walk is three-sixths mile. We are asked to find the shorter walk.
Let us compare both fractions by making the same denominator.




Upon making common denominator, we can see that two-thirds are equal to four sixths.
Since three-sixths is less than four-sixths, therefore, evening walk is shorter.
We will draw two rectangles, one with 6 sub-parts and other with three sub-parts.
We will shade 2 parts out of 3 sub-parts to represent 2/3 and shade 3 parts out of 6 sub-parts to represent 3/6.
Then we will further divide three sub-parts into 6 sub-parts as shown in the diagram that will represent 4/6.
I can't draw a picture but the little hand would be on the 6 and the big hand would be on the 1.
Hi! so you would find x by adding the corners up to 180 degrees.
steps:
Add the corners
90+(2x+1)+(5x+5)
7x+96=180
then subtract 96 from 180
you’d get 7x = 84
then divide 7 on both sides and get x=12
