First, let x be the number of hours it will take for Hector to finish the same job alone. This means that every hour, Hector can do 1/x of the job. The amount of work done by Shawn and Hector in 6 hours should be equal to 1 complete work. This can be expressed as,
(1/9 + 1/x)(6) = 1
The value of x is 18. Thus, Hector can to 1/18 of the job in one hour.
Ok so the wording is confusing
is it
A. 3 friends took 1 slice each (total is 3 slice) or
B. 3 friends took 1 slice total
if A, go to AAAAAA
if B. to to BBBBB
AAAAAAAAAA
3 slices taken
fraction is parts out of whole
what is left
left=original-taken
taken=3
original=8
8-3=5
5=left
fraction is 5/total=5/8
BBBBBB
taken=1
fraction is parts out of whole
what is left
left=original-taken
taken=1
original=8
8-1=7
7=left
fraction is 7/total=7/8
if 3 slices taken total then 5/8 left
if 1 slice taken totl then 7/8 left

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
$10.25
Step-by-step explanation:
Set up a system of equations, so 3c + 2m = 7 and 2c + 4m = 8, where c = the cost of coffees, and m = cost of muffins
To solve multiply the first equation by -2(3c + 2m=7) so you get -6c -4m = -14 now add the two equations
-6c - 4m = -14
2c + 4m = 8 notice that -6c + 2c = -4c and -4m + 4m cancels, then -14+8=-6
so we have -4c = -6 so c = $1.50
To solve for m, substitute c = 1.50 so 3(1.50) + 2m = 7, so solve for m so
4.5 + 2m = 7, 2m = 2.5, so m = $1.25
So now solve the final problem 6(1.50) + 1(1.25) = $10.25
C. The answer is C because the total amount of students is 14, and there are 4 boys, which makes the ratio 4 boys to 14 students in total. 4 and 14 are both divisable by 2, so divide 4 to get 2 and divide 14 to get 7. This leaves you with 2 and 7. The ratio would be 2 boys to 7 total students. Hope this helped
