If the two of you can wash 1 car in 6 minutes:
It will take you 10 minutes to wash the car alone
take your friend 15 minutes to wash the car alone
Let the duration you can work be represented by y
Let the duration your friend can work be represented by x
You can wash a car 1.5 times as fast as your friend
That is, y = 1.5x
Working together, the two of you can wash 1 car in 6 minutes
This can be represented by the equation
Substitute x = 1.5y into the equation above
It will take you 10 minutes to wash the car alone
Substitute y = 10 into x = 1.5y
x = 1.5(10)
x = 15 minutes
It will take your friend 15 minutes to wash the car alone

4/5n – 1/5 = 2/5n
Add 1/5 to both sides
4/5n = 2/5n + 1/5
Subtract 2/5n from both sides
2/5n = 1/5
Divide both sides by 2/5
n = 1/2
Answer:
85/2 or 42.5 ft²
Step-by-step explanation:
A = l x w
A = 7.5 (5 2/3)
= 15/2 (17/3)
= 255/6
= 85/2 ft² or 42.5 ft²
It’s 2 because it says that three teaspoons equal to one tablespoon so
6/3= 2
Answer:
3,406.5 litres/hr
Step-by-step explanation:
The liquid is being poured at a rate of 15 gallons per minute.
1 minute = 1/60 hour
Thus, the rate can be written as:
15 gallons pet 1/60 hour
We are told that one gallon is approximately 3.785 liters.
Thus;
15 gallons = 15 × 3.785 litres = 56.775 litres.
Thus, the rate is;
56.775 litres per 1/60 hour
We want to find in litres/hr.
By proportion, we have it as;
(56.775 ÷ 1/60)/1 = 56.775 × 60 = 3,406.5 litres/hr
