Determine how much of the job they have finished by calculating:
2/4 + 2/6 = 1/2 + 1/3 = 5/6 of the job has been done.
So, they have 1/6 of the job to go.
Then we write the following fractional equation:
t/4 + t/6 = 1/6
Multiply all by 12 (the LCD) and get
3t + 2t = 2
5t = 2
t = 2/5 hour = 24 minutes.

Answer:
150
Step-by-step explanation:
When y is directly proportional to x, y=kx and k=
.
With the corresponding values we already know (3, 15), we can work out k.
k=
, which is k=
or k=5 when using those values.
Now that we know k, we can use it in the equation y=kx to get y.
We can substitute x for 30, as that's what we are working out, and k for 5 (as worked out above) to get y=30×5, which can be solved to y=150.
