it take him 90 hrs to plow 60 acres
X= number of hours would it take Jason to wash the van by himself.
2x=number of hours would it take Wendy to wash the van by herserlf.
<span>we calcaulate the fraction of work by Jason during one hour </span>
x hours-----------------------------1 work
1 hour---------------------- fraction of work during one hour.
fraction of work during one hour=(1 hour * 1work) / x hours=1/x
we calculate the fraction of work by Wendy during one hour.
2x hours-----------------------------1 work
1 hour---------------------- fraction of work during one hour.
fraction of work during one hour=(1 hour * 1work) / 2x hours=1/2x
We can suggest this equation:
2 hours(fraction of work by Jason during one hour + fraction of work by Wendy during one hour)=1 work
2(1/x + 1/2x)=1
least common multiple=2x
2(2+1)=2x
2(3)=2x
6=2x
x=6/2
x=3
answer: 3 hours would ti take Jason to wash the van by himself.
Answer:
8 and -2
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the numbers be l and s.
We have equations:
l = 5s + 18
3l + 4s = 16
Solve for s by substituting l into the second equation:
3(5s + 18) + 4s = 16
15s + 54 + 4s = 16
19s = 16 - 54
19s = -38
s = -38/19
s = -2
Find the value of l:
l = 5(-2) + 18
l = -10 + 18
l = 8
Answer:
Nate made a mistake. He should have got 24 as Least common factor.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given number are 8 and 12.
To find the GCF or LCF we have to list multiples.
For LCF
- List the multiples of each number until at least one of the multiples appears on all lists.
- Find the smallest number that is on all of the lists.
- This number is the LCM.
For GCF
- List the multiples of each number until at least one of the multiples appears on all lists.
- Find the Biggest number that is on all of the lists.
- This number is the GCF
The least common multiple of 8 and 12 is 24.
The Greatest common multiply of 8 and 12 is 4.
Hence, Nate is wrong. Nate should have found 24.
