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

If the point P(x, y) partitions the segment AB in the ratio 1 : 1, then the point P is midpoint of segment AB.

The formula of a midpoint of segment:

A(x_A;\ y_A),\ B(x_B,\ y_B)\\\\P_{AB}\left(\dfrac{x_A+x_B}{2};\ \dfrac{y_A+y_B}{2}\right)

We have:

A(13,\ 1)\to x_A=13,\ y_A=1\\B(-5,\ -3)\to x_B=-5,\ y_B-3\\\\P\left(\dfrac{13+(-5)}{2};\ \dfrac{1+(-3)}{2}\right)\to P\left(\dfrac{8}{2};\ \dfrac{-2}{2}\right)\to P(4,\ -1)

Answer: C. (4, -1)

A student solved 6x+4=2(x−8) in four steps as shown:
mr_godi [17]
The first thing you should do is solve the equation yourself.

1) Distribute the 2.  
6x + 4 = 2x – 16

2) Next, you'll want to get the x's on one side. So add -2x to both sides.
6x + 4 + -2x = 2x + -2x - 16
4x + 4 = -16

3) Now subtract 4 from both sides
4x + 4 – 4 = -16 – 4
4x = -12

4) Finally, divide both sides by 4
4x/4 = -12/4
x = –3

To solve this problem all you need to do is look back out you work, and figure out the correct solution. The answer the question is The student made an error in Step 1.

How Can you divide that
Archy [21]
First you ask yourself, can 8 go into 1?  The answer is no.  Can 8 go into 12? Yes, 1 time.  So you put 1 on top of the 2 and subtract 8 from 12.  That gives you 4.  Then you pull down the 8 from 128 and ask how many times can 8 go into 48?  The answer is 6.  So your answer is 16.  Hope I helped!
