Answer:     C can complete the work in 12 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

Alright, lets get started.

Given that, A and B can separately do a piece of work in 24 days and 16 days respectively.

It means, in 1 day, A can complete the part of work : \frac{1}{24}

It means, in 1 day, B can complete the part of work : \frac{1}{16}

As they both worked together for 6 days,

in 6 days, A can complete the part of work : 6*\frac{1}{24}=\frac{1}{4}

in 6 days, B can complete the part of work : 6*\frac{1}{16}=\frac{3}{8}

So, together they had completed the work : \frac{1}{4}+\frac{3}{8}=\frac{5}{8}

So remaining work will be : 1-\frac{5}{8}

So remaining work will be : \frac{3}{8}

Now this remaining work is done by A and C together.

Suppose C alone can do this work in C days.

So in 3 days, A and C completed the rest work  :

3 \times(\frac{1}{24}+\frac{1}{C})=\frac{3}{8}

\frac{1}{24}+\frac{1}{C}=\frac{1}{8}

\frac{1}{C}=\frac{1}{8}-\frac{1}{24}

\frac{1}{C}=\frac{1}{12}

C=12

Hence C can complete the work in 12 days.   :  Answer

Hope it will help :)

What is the equation for the line of reflection that maps the trapezoid onto itself? Enter your answer in the box______
nadezda [96]
Y = -1

It is an isosceles trapezoid, which is just as well, otherwise it could not reflect onto itself. The line of reflection is the same as the mirror line which is the same as the axis of symmetry.

It runs horizontally exactly through the middle of the shape.

All horizontal lines have the equation y = a value

In this case the line is <span>y=−<span>1</span></span>

Mr. Wallace took 600 mg of medicine. This was<br> 75% of the full dose. What is the full dose?
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:800

Step-by-step explanation:

75% = 0.75

600/0.75 = x/1

Cross multiply:

0.75x = 600

Divide 0.75 to both sides:

x = 800

So the full does is 800mg.
