Okay, so the rate is 1 job / hours, so:
1/3 + 1/7 (This covers both their work rates) = 1/n (n represents the time it take for them to work together)
Get the LCD:
7/21+ 3/21 = 1/n
10/21 = 1/n
Cross multiply:
10n = 21
n = 2.1 
It will take them 2.1 hours, or 2 hours and 6 minutes

Answer:

between 222 and 223 days

Step-by-step explanation:

This relation includes the point (0, 2).

A proportional relation must include the point (0, 0).

This is not proportional, but it may be linear.

Points: (0, 2), (2, 20)

y = mx + b

20 = (20 - 2)/(2 - 0) × 2 + b

20 = 18/2 × 2 + b

b = 2

y = 18x + 2

When 4000 people know, y = 4000.

y = 18x + 2

4000 = 18x + 2

3998 = 18x

x = 3998/18

x = 222.111...

Answer: between 222 and 223 days

Vladimir [108]
There's no way to do that without seeing the drawing or hearing a lot more information. For one thing, we don't even know the size of the circle yet.
