If the first gardener can finish the job in 6 hours, it means that every hour he completes 1/6 of the job.

By the same logic, the second gardener completes 1/7 of the job per hour.

So, if they work together, they complete

\dfrac{1}{6}+\dfrac{1}{7}=\dfrac{7+6}{42}=\dfrac{13}{42}

of the job per hour.

So, after 42/13 of a hour, they'll complete the job. Since one hour is made of 60 minutes, 42/13 of a hour is

\dfrac{42}{13}\cdot 60 \approx 194

So, it will take them about 194 minutes to finish the job, i.e. about 3 hours and 14 minutes.

Find the 19th term of the arithmetic sequence whose common difference is =d5 and whose first term is =a12.
emmasim [6.3K]
An=a1+d(n-1)
a1=first term
d=common difference
n=which term

common difference is 5 first term is 2
an=5+2(n-1)
19th term is n=19
a19=5+2(19-1)
a19=5+2(18)
a19=5+36
a19=41

19th term is 41

soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

$82.16

Step-by-step explanation:

78.25 * .20 = 15.65 as a tip,

78.25 *.15 = 11.74 as the discount, subtract from initial value:

78.25 - 11.74 = 66.51

then add the tip: 15.65 + 66.51 = $82.16
