Answer: it will take 3.6 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

If it takes Daniel 9 hours to clean an office building, it means that the rate at which he cleans the office building per hour is 1/9

If it takes Mark 6 hours to clean the office building, it means that the rate at which Mark cleans the office building per hour is 1/6

If they work together, they would work simultaneously and their individual rates are additive. This means that their combined working rate would be

1/9 + 1/6 = (6 + 9)/54 = 15/54

Assuming it takes t hours for both of them to clean the office working together, the working rate per hour would be 1/t. Therefore,

15/54 = 1/t

t = 54/15 = 3.6 hours

It would be 3 hours. This is 3 hours because the problem says that daniel takes 9 hours to clean and office building and mark takes 6 hours so if you subtract 9hours from 6 hours it would be 3 hours total. Now this can be 2 answers it can also be 15 hours if you were to add 9 hours to 6 hours.

Mr. Helsley wishes to save atleast $1500 in 12 months. If he saved $300 during the first 4 months, what is the least possible av
faust18 [17]

Answer:he must save an average of $150 or more in each of the remaining 8 months.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mr. Helsley wishes to save at least $1500 in 12 months. If he saved $300 during the first 4 months, then the amount left would be

≥ 1500 - 300

Let x represent the least possible average amount that he must save in each of the remaining 8 months. This means that the total amount that he would save in the last 8 months would be 8x. Therefore,

300 + 8x ≥ 1500

8x ≥ 1500 - 300

8x ≥ 1200

x ≥1200/8

x ≥ 150
