For this case, the first thing we must do is define a variable.

We have then:

t: time it will take Tiana and Jacob to finish the work together.

We have then that the equation that models the problem is given by:

\frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{t}

From here, we clear the value of t.

For this, we follow the following steps:

1) Multiply both sides of the equation by 6t:

\frac{6t}{3} + \frac{6t}{2} = \frac{6t}{t}

2) Simplify both sides of the equation:

2t + 3t = 6

3) Add similar terms:

5t = 6

4) Clear the value of t.

t = \frac{6}{5}

Answer:

If they decide to clear the field together they will take them about 6/5 hours

Let us determine each of their rates of work:

Since Tiana can clear the field in 3 hours, meaning she can do 1/3 of the work per hour.

In the same way, Jacob can do 1/2 of the work per hour. 

Now, what would be the rate of work if they were working together? Let's look at it like this:

Hours to complete the job:
Tiana = 3
Jacob = 2
Together = t

Work done per hour:
Tiana = 1/3
Jacob = 1/2
Together = 1/t

If you add their labor together:

1/3 + 1/2 = 1/t
5/6 = 1/t
t = 6/2 = 1.2

Together, they can clear the field in 1.2 hours.

What is the common ratio in the following geometric sequence?
VARVARA [1.3K]

Hey there!


A common ratio is just that number that you multiply or divide to each number that gets you the next in a geometric sequence. In this sequence, we know the numbers are getting bigger and we're multiplying, so we want to know what you're multiplying by the first number to get to the second. We can call this unknown number x. SO if we start with the first number and set up an equation, we get:


3x = 12


Divide both sides by 3


x = 4


Therefore, your common ratio is 4.


To check, you can multiply all the next numbers by 4 to see that it all checks out.


Hope this helps!

The model represents the equation <br> 4x+ 4 = 12<br> What value of x makes the equation true
myrzilka [38]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

All you have to basically do on this one is go backwards.

The beginning equation is 4x+4=12, so to first revesre the adding we are going to use 12, the product, and subtract 4 from it (since that is what was added).

12-4=8

Now you need to reverse the times 4, so to do that just divide instead because that is the invese of multiplication.

8/4=2

Now you have 2, which is the variable, x. To make sure this is right you can just put it into the equation and see if 4x2+4 is 12

Hope this helped!
