3 7/8

So we can use this $a \frac{b}{c} = \frac{(a \times c) + b}{c}$

So we get

$3 \frac{7}{8} = \frac{(3 \times 8) + 7}{8}$

= $\frac{24+7}{8} = \frac{31}{8}$

Dave can complete a sales route by himself in 4 hours. James can do the same job in 5 hours. How long will it take them to do it

Alexeev081 [22]

We can solve this problem by calculating the individual rate of working and equate it to their total rate of working.

If Dave can complete a sales route in 4 hours, then his working rate is

$\frac{1}{4}$

Also, if James can do it in 5 hours, then his working rate is

$\frac{1}{5}$

Let
$x$
be the hours that both will use to complete the sales route,

Then rate at which both completes this task is
$\frac{1}{x}$

Meaning if we add their individual rates we should get

$\frac{1}{x}$

That is;

$\frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{5} = \frac{1}{x}$

The LCM is
$20x$

So let us multiply through with the LCM.

$20x \times \frac{1}{4} + 20x \times \frac{1}{5} =20x \times \frac{1}{x}$

$5x + 4x = 20$

We simplify to get,

$9x = 20$

Dividing through by 9 gives;

$x = \frac{20}{9}$

$x = 2\frac{1}{9}$

Therefore the two will complete sales route in
$2 \frac{1}{9}$
hours.

PLEASE HELP!! A fair coin is flipped 3 times. What is the probability of the coin landing on heads 3 times? Why is that?

Leokris [45]

Answer:

If the coin is fair, then the odds of getting heads or tails should be equal, 12. Then 3 tosses of tails will have a chance of 12⋅12⋅12=18.
