The problem tells us that the fractions of time worked by the three people need to be equivalent to one person working full time.  This means that the fractions need to add up to one.  We know one person works one-half (1/2) time on the project and another works one-third (1/3) time. Let x = the amount of time that the third person needs to work on the job to add up to one 1 = 1/2 + 1/3 + x 1 - 1/2 - 1/3 = x To subtract the fractions we need to put them all over a common denominator.  Let's use 3*2 = 6 as the denominator; so 1 = 6/6, 1/2 = 3/6, 1/3 = 2/6: 6/6 - 3/6 - 2/6 = x 1/6 = x The third person must work 1/6 time on the project.

Determine the ratio of
lawyer [7]
To solve this you would divide until you can’t. I recommend staying in whole numbers:) I always divide by twos because I think it’s more efficient! 4 divided by 2 is 2 and 30 divided by 2 is 15 sooo (2 hours to 15) hope this helped!

Combine each pair of equations solve the combined equation 3j +14=-5z-10j=5z
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Given data:

The first equation is 3j +14=-5z.

The second equation is -10j=5z​ .

Add both the equations.

\begin{gathered} (3j+14)+(-10j)=-5z+5z \\ -7j+14=0 \\ 7j=14 \\ j=2 \end{gathered}

Substitute 2 for j in the first equation.

\begin{gathered} 3(2)+14=-5z \\ 20=-5z \\ z=-4 \end{gathered}

Thus, the value of j is 2 and z is -4.
