Answer:

B) 2 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

If machine  A complete a job in 3 1/2 hours or 7/2 of an hour

means that in one hour finished 1÷ 7/2     or  2/7

If machine  B complete a job in 4 2/3 hours or  14/3 of an hour

means that in one hour finished 1÷ 14/3    or  3/14 of an hour

Then the two machines working together in one hour will make

2/7 + 3/14    =  (4 + 3)/ 14

or   7/14   = 1/2

half of the job. Therefore these two machines working together will take two hours

Reuben made 4 identical necklaces, each having beads and a pendant. The total cost of the beads and pendants for all 4 necklaces
zysi [14]

Answer:

$3.90

Step-by-step explanation:

The total cost was $24.40.

We know the cost for beads for each necklace is also $2.20, multiply this by four to find the cost of the beads for all the necklaces.

$2.20 × 4 = $8.80

Now we will subtract this from the total price.

$24.40 - $8.80 = $15.60

$15.60 Is the remaining cost for the pendants of all four necklaces. We will now divide this by four to find the price of a single pendant.

$15.60 ÷ 4 = $3.90

<u>This means the cost of each pendant is $3.90</u>

Alyssa sold half of her comic books and then bought 7 more. She now has
shusha [124]

She began with 20.

If she bought 7 more books and ended up with 17, that means she had ten beforehand. If she had half remaining, we simply double it, thus getting 20.
