Answer:
39 or 1/39
Step-by-step explanation:
You need to divide these but it depends on how you divide them
15/24
4 2/3=(4*3)+2/3=14/3
simply 15/24
15/3/24/3=5/8
refine
5/8*14/3
8 and 14 share a factor of 2
8/2=4
14/2=7
refine
5/4*7/3
5*7/4*3
35/12
convert to mixed number
35/12=2.11
2 11/12
the answer is 2 11/12
Ok so pete lays 10 more than jim per hour
pete and jim laid same amount of tiles
j=jim's rate
p=pete's rate
6j=5p
but pete lays 10 tile per hour faster so
p=10+j
sub
6j=5(10+j)
6j=50+5j
minus 5j both sides
j=50
jim can lay at 50 tiles per hour
