X= number of hours would it take Jason to wash the van by himself.
2x=number of hours would it take Wendy to wash the van by herserlf.

<span>we calcaulate the fraction of  work by Jason during one hour </span>

x hours-----------------------------1 work
1 hour----------------------   fraction of work during one hour.

fraction of work during one hour=(1 hour * 1work) / x hours=1/x


we calculate the fraction of work by Wendy during one hour.
2x hours-----------------------------1 work
1 hour----------------------   fraction of work during one hour.

fraction of work during one hour=(1 hour * 1work) / 2x hours=1/2x

We can suggest this equation:
2 hours(fraction of work by Jason during one hour + fraction of work by Wendy during one hour)=1 work

2(1/x + 1/2x)=1

least common multiple=2x
2(2+1)=2x
2(3)=2x
6=2x
x=6/2
x=3

answer: 3 hours would ti take Jason to wash the van by himself.

Urgent please help..

Answer:

b = 7√3

Step-by-step explanation:

This 30°- 60°- 90° triangle has the proportions:

side opposite of the 30° angle = x

side opposite of the 60° angle = x√3

side opposite of the 90° angle = 2x

____________________________

Given the side opposite of the 30° angle which is 7 units long, this can be thought of as x. Knowing the proportions of the other sides, we can find b knowing that this is the side opposite of the 60° angle which is x√3.

Since x = 7, x√3 = 7√3, and therefore

b = 7√3.

Which of following lies between 0 and -1 ?
kogti [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

There are many numbers that lie between 0 and -1

Some common numbers are -1/4 , -1/2 , -3/4 , etc.........

Other numbers can be found by multiplying the numerator and denominator by the same number for example, 10

0/1 × 10/10 = 0/10

-1/1 × 10/10 = -10/10

Now the numbers between 0/10 and -10/10 are :

-1/10, -2/10....................................-9/10 etc.

hope this helps

plz mark it as brainliest!!!!!!!
