Answer:

1 hour and 7.5 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following information:

Jose makes 1 / 1.5 of the job per hour. It is his rate of work in addition to that the partner makes 1 / 4.5 of the job per hour. It is his rate of work.

Thus:

1 / 1.5 + 1 / 4.5 = 1 / x

0.8898 = 1 / x

x = 1 / 0.8888

x = 1.125

Hence, it will take 1 hour and 7.5 minutes for them to complete the job working together.

The institute of medicine determined that a man should drink 3 liters of fluids and a woman should drink 2.2 liters. Mr.Morrison
Kipish [7]
According to the question,

Man needs to drink = 3 liters of water a day = 3000 ml

Women needs to drink = 2.2 liters of water a day = 2200 ml

Mr. Morrison drank = 880 ml
Mrs. Morrison drank = 700 ml

Total water needed to be drink by both men and women = 3000+2200 = 5200 ml

Total water drank by Mr. and Mrs. Morrison = 880+700 = 1580 ml

Water they both need to drink combined to meet the recommended amounts for the day = 5200 - 1580 = 3620ml
= 3.62 liters

Hope this helps!
