For 1 hour:
- Jennifer can clean 1/2 of her room;
- John cal clean 1/5 of her room.
Both can clean: 1/2 + 1/5 = 5/10 + 2/10 = 7/10
1 hour  -------- 7/10
x hours---------- 1
x = 1 : 7/10 = 10/7 h = 1.42857 h ( or 1 h 25 min 43 s )

<span>the sum of their rates is 1/2 + 1/5
  1 / (1/2 + 1/5) = 10/7
</span>1/2 + 1/5 =1/x
x=10/7
<span>1/2 and 1/5 can interpreted as 1 job per 2 hours and 1 job per 5 hours respectively.

mojhsa [17]

Answer:

5 shirts

Step-by-step explanation:

2 pairs of jeans $25.60

$112.40-$25.60=$86.80

if each pair of T-shirts cost $15.30

$15.30 times 5=$76.50

$86.80 - $76.50=$10.30

so John bought 5 shirts however he got some many left $10.30

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

given that on a six-question multiple-choice test there are five possible answers for each question, of which one is correct and four are incorrect

By mere guessing probability for choosing correct answer = p = 0.2

also each question is independent of the other

Hence if X is the number of correct questions then

X is binomial with p = 0.2 and n = 6

a) being correct on three questions,

=P(X=3) = 0.08192

(b) being correct on four questions,

= P(X=4) = 0.01536

(c) being correct on all six questions

=P(x=6) = 0.000064

Paul currently has $300 to spend on a data plan. He found a phone for $100 and a $50 a month charge.
zvonat [6]
Let x= months
So 50x is the total amount he pays after x months. You went to add 100 to this because there's a fixed cost of 100 for the phone
So you have the expression 100+50x which is the amount he pays after x months
Since he has a limit of 300,
100+50x < 300
