If Mercedes alone could paint the house in 8 hours, we would expect that both painting together would take less than 8 hours.
In 1 hour: Dorie would paint 1/12 of the house, while Mercedes would paint 1/8. This is a total of 1/12 + 1/8 = 5/24. If they can combine to paint 5/24 of the house in 1 hour, then the total time for the whole house would be
1 / (5/24) = 24/5 = 4.8 hours or 4 4/5 hours

How to use a protractor.
damaskus [11]

Answer:

You can see below!

Step-by-step explanation:

Basically, a protractor is used to measure angles. You probably have a semi-circle shaped one. Looking at the bottom middle of the protractor should show you lines intersecting each other at a point. If you have an angle on a piece of paper, place that point on the ends of the line segments making up the angle. Then, check where each line of the angle crosses the numbers on the outer rim. That shows you the measure of the angle you are examining. It can be a bit tricky, but with practice you'll get it in no time!

How do you subtract rational expressions without a common denominator?
zubka84 [21]
You would have to make common denominators
consider a/b,c/d in Q
then a/b - c/d = ad/db - cb/bd = (ad-cb)/db for all a,b,c,d in R, exclude b,d=0
i.e. 1/2 - 1/4
=4/8 - 2/8 =(4-2)/8=2/8 =1/4
