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.

A rectangle has a length that is 4 meters more than the width. The area of the rectangle is 117 square meters. Find the dimensio
pickupchik [31]

Answer:

Its the first choice. Width:9 Length:13

Step-by-step explanation:

If the length is 4 meter more than the width than that means whatever the width is you must add 4 to it, in this case the width is 9 so add 4 to it which equals 13. If the length matches your answer it is the correct choice.

Gaby plays on volleyball team. In the two games she scored 3/5 of the total number of points her team scored. Her team scored 25
hjlf

Answer:

Gaby scored 27 points.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you have to find 3/5 of both of the numbers.

What I did was I found 1/5 of each number and multiplied it by 3.

25/5=5, so 1/5 of 25 is 5. 5(3)= 15, so Gaby scored 15 points in the first game.

20/5= 4, so 1/5 of 20 is 4. 4(3)= 12, so Gaby scored 12 points in the second game.

Finally, add 15+12, which equals 27 :).

Jake built a skateboard ramp, if the distance of the ramp is 10 ft. The ramp rises a
ikadub [295]

Answer:

Angle made by ramp with ground is ≈19.29^{\circ}

Step-by-step explanation:

Diagram of given scenario is shown below.

Given that,

Horizontal Distance of Skateboard ramp is 10 ft.

Height of Skateboard ramp is 3.5 ft.

From figure,

It is forming a Right angle triangle \triangle ABC.

In \triangle ABC, AB=3.5 and BC=10.

Clearly see that we need to find measure of angle \angle C.

Using Trigonometric ratio:

     Tan(\theta)= \frac{Perpendicular}{Base}

So,  Tan(\angle C) = \frac{AB}{BC} =\frac{3.5}{10} =0.35

Then \angle C=Tan^{-1} (3.5)=19.290046^{\circ}

Therefore, Angle made by ramp with ground is ≈19.29^{\circ}

At a rat of 64 kilometers per hour, how far will a car travel in 7 1/2 hours?_______
Snowcat [4.5K]

We use the formula d = s*t where d is distance, s is speed and t is time.

d = 64km*7.5

d = 480km

Therefore, a car would tracel 480 km.
