Answer:

  4.8 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the given hint, working together, the amount of floor mopped in 1 minute is ...

  1/8 + 1/12 = 3/24 +2/24 = 5/24 . . . . jobs/minute

The reciprocal of that is the rate in terms of minutes per job. Thus the entire job takes 24/5 = 4.8 minutes.

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

To show f and g are inverses we require to show that

f(g(x)) = x and g(f(x)) = x

f(g(x))

= f(6x - 4)

= \frac{6x-4+4}{6} = \frac{6x}{6} = x

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

g(f(x))

= g(\frac{x+4}{6} )

= ( 6 × \frac{x+4}{6}) - 4

= x + 4 - 4 = x

-------------------------------------------------

Hence f and g are inverses
