Answer: it will take them 2 hours to now 7 lawns

Step-by-step explanation:

It takes Hank 40 minutes (2/3 hours) to mow a lawn. This means that his unit rate of working is 1/40

Penny can mow the same size lawn in 30 minutes (1/2 hour). This means that his unit rate of working is 1/30

If they form a small lawn care company, they will be working together and simultaneously at a faster combined rate. Since their rates are additive.

If they finish one lawn in t hours, working together, then their combined working rate for one lawn is 1/t. Therefore

1/40 + 1/30 = 1/t

1/t = 7/120

t = 120/7 = 17.14

They will now one lawn in 17.14 minutes

For 7 lawns, it will take them 17.14 × 7 = 119.98 minutes. It is approximately 120 minutes.

We will convert from minutes to hour.

60 minutes = 1 hour

120 minutes = 120/60 = 2 hours

Hannah earned $1536 in 8 years on an investment at a 4% annual simple interest rate. How much was Hannah’s investment? $4800 $30
Nonamiya [84]

Simple interest calculates interest on initial amount only. The investment by Hannah was : Option A: $4800

<h3>How to calculate simple interest amount if rate of interest is R% annually?</h3>

Suppose that the initial amount of investment is P

And the rate of simple interest is R% annually,

And the time of investment is T years.

Then, the amount of simple interest is calculated as:

I = \dfrac{P \times R \times T}{100}

For the given case, let the initial investment Hannah made was of $P

Then, the time of investment is T = 8 years, R% = 4%, and given that Hannah earned interest I = $1536

Putting values in the above formula, we get;

I = \dfrac{P \times R \times T}{100}\\\\1536 = \dfrac{P \times 8 \times 4}{100}\\\\P = \dfrac{153600}{32} = 4800

Thus,

The investment by Hannah was : Option A: $4800

Different varieties of field daisies have numbers of petals that follow a fibonacci sequence.Three varieties have 13,21, and 347
EleoNora [17]
The answer is letter d. The Fibonacci Sequence states to add the 2 previous number to get the next number starting with 1. So, 1 + 0=1, 1+1=2, 1+2=3, 2+3=5,3+5=8, 5+8=13, etc....

I added 13+21 to get 34. Then add 21+34 to get 55. Then add 34+55 to get 89.

OLEGan [10]
<span>A dust particle weighs 7.42 × 10-10 kilograms. 

Weight of 5 × 106 dust particles = </span>5 × 10^6 x 7.42 x 10^(-10)

= 5 x 7.42 x 10^(6-10)

= 37.1 x 10^(-4)

= 3.71 x 10^(-3) kilograms
