Answer:

It will take them approximately 51.43 minutes to complete the project together

Step-by-step explanation:

This is what is called a "shared job" problem.

The best way to work on them is to start by finding the "portion" of the job done by each of the people in the unit of time.

So, for example, Sarah completes the project in 90 minutes, so in the unit of time (that is 1 minute) she completed 1/90 of the total project

Betty completes the project in 120 minutes, so in the unit of time (1 minute) she completes 1/120 of the total project.

We don't know how long it would take for them to complete the project when working together, so we call that time "x" (our unknown).

Now, when they work together completing the entire job in x minutes, in the unit of time they would have done 1/x of the total project.

In the unite of time, the fraction of the job done together (1/x) should equal the fraction of the job done by Sarah (1/90) plus the fraction of the job done by Betty. This in mathematical form becomes:

\frac{1}{x} =\frac{1}{90} +\frac{1}{120}\\\frac{1}{x} =\frac{4}{360} +\frac{3}{360}\\\frac{1}{x} =\frac{7}{360} \\x=\frac{360}{7} \\x=51.43\,\,min

So it will take them approximately 51.43 minutes to complete the project together.

How do i solve for x
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

X is 36 and y is 48.

Step-by-step explanation:

So a couple of things here: both triangles are equal, and triangles always add up to 180 degrees. If we do some math:

180-108-48=24

This means that 2x-y needs to equal 24. We know what y is, it's 48 since both triangles are equal. Lets do some more math to find x.

48+24=72

72 divided by 2 = 36. 36 is the answer for x.

Light behaves mainly like a wave but it can also be considered to consist of tiny packages of energy called photons. Photons carry a fixed amount of energy but have no mass. They also found that increasing the intensity of light increased the number of electrons ejected, but not their speed.
