Answer:

2.5 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the answer because you will need to add both of their times together then divide it by 2. You divide it by two because there are 2 people.

Answer:

1.05 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to use the least common multiple of 1.5 and 3.5 which is 10.5.

Thus we find how many lots each one will clear in 10.5 hours

Mart clears 1 lot in 1.5 hours

Number of Lots                 Time

           1                 ⇒           1.5 hours

so in 10.5 hous:

Number of Lots                 Time

           1                 ⇒           1.5 hours

           x                 ⇒           10.5 hours

the x is found by rule of three: multiply the cross quantities in the table (1 and 10.5) and dividing by the remaining amount (1.5):

x = 10.5*1/1.5

x = 7 lots

so Mark clears 7 lots in 10.5 hours.

His partner clears 1 lot in 3.5 hous:

Number of Lots                 Time

           1                 ⇒           3.5 hours

so in 10.5 hous:

Number of Lots                 Time

           1                 ⇒           3.5 hours

           x                 ⇒           10.5 hours

also by rule of three the x is:

x = 10.5*1/3.5

x = 3 lots

His partner clears 3 lots in the same 10.5 hours.

Thus, together:

Number of Lots                 Time

           7+3               ⇒        10.5 hours

simplifying:

Number of Lots                 Time

          10               ⇒        10.5 hours

and what we need to know is the time to clear one lot together:

Number of Lots                 Time

          10               ⇒        10.5 hours

          1                 ⇒        x

again, to find x we multiply cross quantities (10.5 by 1) and divide by the remaining amount (10):

x = 10.5*1/10

x = 1.05 hours

It will take them 1.05 hours to clear the lot

The junior varsity football team score 23 points in last Saturday's game they score the combination of seven point touchdowns in
frutty [35]

Answer:

  2 touchdowns, 3 field goals

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of touchdowns cannot be more than 3, so it is relatively easy to find the solution by trial and error.

  23 is not divisible by 3, so 0 touchdowns is not a solution

  23 -7 = 16 is not divisible by 3, so 1 touchdown is not a solution

  23 -14 = 9 is divisible by 3, so 2 touchdowns and 3 field goals is a solution

  21 -21 = 2 is not divisible by 3, so there is only one solution.

Given that the metal strip is being installed around a bench that 6ft long 2ft wide. The metal required will be given by:
P=4(L+W)
=4(6+2)
=4(8)
=32 ft
Therefore we conclude that we need a metal strip that is 32ft long

What are the coordinates of R’, the image of R(-4,3) after a reflection in the line y=x?
navik [9.2K]

Answer:

R'(3,-4)

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

When you reflect a point across the line y = x, the x-coordinate and y-coordinate change places

so

The rule of the reflection across the line y=x is equal to

(x,y) ------> (y,x)

we have

R(-4,3) ------> R'(3,-4)
