Frank can build a fence in twice the time it would take Sandy. Working together, they can build it in 7 hours. How long will it take each of them to do it alone?
Answer
If Frank and Sandy can build the fence in 7 hours, they must be building
1
7
of the fence every hour.
Now, let the amount of time it takes Sandy be
x
hours so that Frank takes
2
x
hours. Sandy can build
1
x
of the fence every hour and Frank can build
1
2
x
of the fence every hour.
We now have the following equation to solve.
1
x
+
1
2
x
=
1
7

x
x
=
21

=
10.50
Thus, Sandy takes
10.50
hours and Frank takes
21
hours.
The answer to this is the second choice
Your answer would be -1/6
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Step-by-step explanation:
5:28^25 I think
6:keep the base multiply exponents
7:no because you would multiply the bases and keep the exponent the same
8:7 because 7 x 5= 35
1: 2 and 3 for the second part of it 2 and 5
2:7^30
3:54^3
4:Yes they are just flipped
You know that BC is congruent to x so you need to solve for x using the ratio:

So then we need to find BC.
We know:


Therefore BC =8
Then:
