shawn does 1 job in 6 hours

 turn that into a fraction 1/6

Ellie 1 in 4 so fraction is 1/4

1/6 + 1/4 = 5/12

12/5 = 2.4

 it will take them 2.4 hours

You are installing a brick sidewalk. The brick portion of the sidewalk will occupy an area of 100 feet long by 4 feet wide. Each
adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

1,800 bricks are needed

Step-by-step explanation:

First convert the Length and width of the sidewalk into inches

Entire Sidewalk: L= 100x12 =1200in and W= 4 x 12 = 48in

Then we know Area = LxW, so we will do this for both the sidewalk and the brick.

Area of sidewalk: 1200 x 48 = 57600

Bricks ( no need to convert since the measurements are already in inches): 8 x 4 = 32

Now we will divide the area of the entire sidewalk by the area of a single brick to find out how many bricks you need to complete the whole sidewalk:

57600/32= 1,800 bricks

What additional information is needed to determine that ΔABC ≅ ΔEDC using the HL method of congruence? answers: A) ≅ B) No addit
Savatey [412]

Answer:

AC congruent to EC

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem is asking specifically to prove triangles congruent using HL.

HL is a method of proving triangles congruent. HL stands for Hypotenuse-Leg. If you can show that the hypotenuse and leg of one right triangle are congruent to the hypotenuse and leg, respectively, of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.

Looking at triangle ABC and EDC, we see that the legs AB and ED are congruent. We already have a pair of corresponding congruent legs. Now we need a pair of hypotenuses.

You need AC congruent to EC.

It’s just the same as if there were no decimal point. but if there isn’t a number in the quotient on the left of the decimal like #15, then you just place a 0 and continue to the next dividend which is 50.
