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.

Suppose you have 6 pairs of socks in your sock drawer. It is still dark out in the morning when you get dressed, so you just pul
Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

8/33 = 0.242

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 12 socks to begin with and one is taken;

The second is picked from the remaining 11 and will either match the first or not;

The probability of matching is 1/11 and 10/11 for not matching;

If the sock matches, no further sock is taken;

If the socks don't match, a 3rd sock is taken;

The 3rd sock is taken from the remaining 10, 1 of which will match with the first sock and another which will match the second;

Therefore, the probability of taking a matching sock on the third pick will by 2/10 or 1/5 and the probability it will not match either of the first two is 8/10 or 4/5;

Once again, if the sock matches either of those previously taken, no further sock is taken;

If the socks don't match, a 4th sock is taken;

Now, there are 9 socks remaining in the drawer;

Picking is repeated;

The process is logical;

The attached picture shows a tree diagram representing this information in an easily digestible way and makes it easy to work out the desired probability;

With tree, diagrams, you just multiply across until you get to your desired outcome;

In this case, we are finding the probability of picking 5 socks exactly;

Each process splitting represents the picking of a sock;

The probability will be:

10/11 × 8/10 × 6/9 × 4/8 = 8/33 = 0.242...
