we know that Bob can do the whole job in 14 hours, how much of the work has he done in 1 hour only? well since he can do the whole lot in 14 hours in 1 hour he has only done 1/14 th of the job.
we know that James can do it in 18 hours, a bit slower, so in 1 hour he has done only 1/18 th of the job.
let's say it takes both of them working together say "t" hours, so in 1 hour Bob has done (1/14) of the work whilst James has done (1/18) of the work, the whole work being t/t or 1 whole, so for just one hour that'd 1/t done by both Bob and James.

Answer:
it’s a multi step equation
Step-by-step explanation:
solve like a multi step
There's no if about it,

has a zero

so

is a factor. That's the special case of the Remainder Theorem; since

we'll get a remainder of zero when we divide

by

At this point we can just divide or we can try more little numbers in the function. It doesn't take too long to discover

too, so

is a factor too by the remainder theorem. I can find the third zero as well; but let's say that's out of range for most folks.
So far we have

where

is the zero we haven't guessed yet. Again we could divide

by

but just looking at the constant term we must have

so

We check

We usually talk about the zeros of a function and the roots of an equation; here we have a function

whose zeros are
Answer: 2 pounds
Step-by-step explanation: There are 16 ounces in one pound. So when you divide 32 by 16, you get 2. Therefore your answer would be 2 pounds!
