1) in one minute for first wiil be 1/20
the other 1/30, it means that A paint in one minute 1/20 and B 1/30 then A+B in one minute 1/20 + 1/30 = 3+2/60 = 5 / 60, 5/60 = 1/12
if in one min they make 1/12 then in 12 min they paint all the wall
0.05 rounded to the nearest whole number is 0.
Hope this helps~
A. define the variables : a = abby's miles, j = james' miles
b. a = j + 4......j = a - 4
c. a + j = 28
a = j + 4
d. (j + 4) + j = 28
2j + 4 = 28
2j = 28 - 4
2j = 24
j = 24/2
j = 12
a = j + 4
a = 12 + 4
a = 16
e. check..
a + j = 28
16 + 12 = 28
28 = 28 (correct)
solution is : abby's miles (a) = 16
james' miles (j) = 12
This is all about proportions. You can make this into fractions:
3/5 = 12/x
A good way to handle this, is to make one of those numbers the same. If you do (3/5) * 4, you would get 12/20 (because 4 * 3 = 12 and 4 * 5 = 20)
So then you have this:
12/20 = 12/x
It's basically a fill in the blank from there. x= 20
