Answer:

2 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let, Sofia can type the x amount of work in 10 hours.

So, in one hour Sofia can type \frac{x}{10} amount of work.

Again, Nova can type x amount of work in 15 hours.

So, in one hour Nova can type \frac{x}{15} amount of work.

Hence, if they work together, they can type \frac{x}{10} + \frac{x}{15} = \frac{6x + 4x}{60} = \frac{10x}{60} = \frac{x}{6} amount of work in one hour.

Therefore, working together they can type the x amount of work in \frac{x}{\frac{x}{6} } = 6 days.

So, they have to work for (6 - 4) = 2 days more to finish the work. (Answer)

Sofia and Nova together completes the work in 6 hours.

<u>SOLUTION: </u>

Given, Sofia can type the work in 10 hours.  

Nova can do it in 15 hours.  

They work together for 4 hours, then Sofia and Nova finish the job.  

We have to find time taken to do the entire job

Now, work done by Sofia in 1 hour =\frac{1}{10}

And work done by Nova in 1 hour =\frac{1}{15}

Then, when they are together, work done in 1 hour =\frac{1}{10}+\frac{1}{15}=\frac{1}{5}\left(\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{3}\right)=\frac{1}{5}\left(\frac{3+2}{6}\right)=\frac{1}{5} \times \frac{5}{6}=\frac{1}{6}

So, \text { total required time }=\frac{1}{\frac{1}{6}}=6 \text { hours }

The volume of a cube is the cube of the length of a side. If a side is S, the volume is S^3. What is the volume of a cube with s
sergij07 [2.7K]

Volume is a three-dimensional scalar quantity. The volume of the cube with side length of 4 inches is 64 inches³.

<h3>What is volume?</h3>

A volume is a scalar number that expresses the amount of three-dimensional space enclosed by a closed surface.

Given the volume of a cube is the cube of the length of a side. If a side is S, the volume is S^3. Therefore, the volume of cube with side 4 inches will be,

Volume of the cube = (4 in)³ = 64 in³

Hence, the volume of the cube with side length of 4 inches is 64 inches³.

Whats an equation that make x=31 ? like in other words give me an equation where it leads down to 31
MrRa [10]
Sure, that's easy! Here's one

5x + 7 = 162

If I wanted to solve this equation, I would break it down. I'd subtract the result (162) by 7

162 - 7 = 155.

From there I just divide that by 5!

155 / 5 = 31

There it is! Ultimate proof that x is in fact 31!
