Answer:

18 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Sophie can peel all potatoes in 45 minutes, in 1 minute she can peel:

  • 1/45 of all the potatoes

Simon can peel all potatoes in 30 minutes, in 1 minute he can peel:

  • 1/30 of all the potatoes

Together, in 1 minute they can peel:

  • 1/45+1/30= 2/90+3/90= 5/90= 1/18 of all the potatoes

To peel all the potatoes they need:

  • 1 ÷ 1/18= 1 × 18= 18 minutes

So it will take them 18 minutes to peel all the potatoes

Consider the following polynomial.
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

The equivalent factored form of this equation is (x² + 49)(x - 6)

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>x³ - 6x² + 49x - 294</em>

First, group the first and second terms together and group the last two terms together.

<em>(x³ - 6x²) + (49x - 294)</em>

Find the greatest common factor of both parentheses and factor them.  

x²(x - 6) + 49(x - 6)

Now, since the two terms in the parentheses are the same, then we have factored the equation correctly.

So, the factored form of the equation is (x² + 49)(x - 6)

Which size can of green beans shown in the table has the lowest unit price?
posledela
The can of green beans that has the lowest unit price is the 8 oz. size.

To find the unit price of each size, divide the cost by the size. (A number below that's in parentheses means it goes on forever)

0.89 ÷ 6 = 0.148(3)
1.04 ÷ 8 = 0.13
1.69 ÷ 10 = 0.169
4.79 ÷ 32 = 1496875
Among all of these answers, the can with 8 oz. has the least unit price/rate. Thus, this is the answer.
