------------------------------------------------------------------
Push Mower
------------------------------------------------------------------
It takes 5 hours to complete the job
1 hour = 1/5 of the job

------------------------------------------------------------------
Riding Lawn Mower
------------------------------------------------------------------
It takes 3 hours to complete the job
1 hour = 1/3 of the job

------------------------------------------------------------------
Push Mower + Riding Lawn Mower
------------------------------------------------------------------
1 hour = 1/5 + 1/3 
1 hour = 3/15 + 5/15 
1 hour = 8/15 of the job.

------------------------------------------------------------------
Calculate time needed to complete
------------------------------------------------------------------
8/15 of the job takes 1 hour
8/15 of the job = 1 hour 

------------------------------------------------------------------
Divide by 8/15 on both side
------------------------------------------------------------------
8/15 ÷ 8/15 of the job = 1 ÷ 8/15 hour
Whole of the job = 1 x 15/8 hours
Whole of the job = 15/8 hours
Whole of the job = 1 7/8 hours

------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: 1 7/8 hours
------------------------------------------------------------------

What is this I am so confused please help
goblinko [34]

Answer: A

Step-by-step explanation:

When you write exponential form to radical form, the fraction tells us that kind of root it is. Since it is a cubed root, as indicated by the 3 in front of the radical, we know that the fraction will be \frac{1}{3}. If it were to be \frac{1}{3}, the entire radical would be to the power of 1. Since the radical is to the power of x, our answer would be 125^{\frac{1}{3}x }.

which factor would make a bank think that a prospective buyer would be more likely to pay a mortgage on time?
trapecia [35]
The best answer is "The buyer paid over 20% of the sales price of the home as a down payment." This indicates that not only is the buyer paying above the minimum down payment, which means he/she has more cash than the minimum needed to purchase the home, but also that the monthly payments, interest, and total loan will be lower. All of this indicates a less risky prospective borrower.
