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.

The average of the first five multiple of 7 is
Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

b. 21

Step-by-step explanation:

The first five mutiples of 7 are:<em> 7, 14, 21, 28, 35. </em>You can get these by multiplying 7 to any integer.

  • 7x1 = 7
  • 7x2 = 14
  • 7x3 = 21
  • 7x4 = 28
  • 7x5 = 35

In order to get the average of these numbers, you have to add them and divide the sum to the total number of multiples.

Let's add first.

7+14+21+28+35 = 105

Let's divided 105 by 5, which is the number of the multiples of 7.

105÷5 = 21

<em>The answer is 21.</em>
