Answer:

\dfrac{x}{4}

C is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

At a picnic,

Number of adults is 3 times as number of children.

Number of women is twice as number of men.

Total number of men, women and children at the picnic be x

Let number of children be c

Let number of men be m

Let number of women be w

# Number of women is twice as number of men, w = 2m

# Number of adults is 3 times as number of children, w + m = 3c

      2m + m = 3c     (∴  w=2m )

                c = m

Total number of men, women and children at the picnic be x

∵       c + m + w = x

     m + m + 2m = x

                    4m = x

Number of men, m=\dfrac{x}{4}

Hence, The total number of men will be  \dfrac{x}{4}

PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

You must find the least common multiple of their schedules.

The numbers 3 and 2 are their own prime factors, so the least common multiple of 3 and 2 is 6.

Six weekends must pass until they can both have someone over on the same night.

The number line below shows that the first time their sleepovers coincide is Week 6.

Erica can paint her room 5 hours .If she had her friend Rachel help her , they can paint the room together in 3 hours .How long
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

7 hours 30min

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one :

Given data

We are told that Erica can paint 1 room in 5hours

Her work rate is 1/5 room per hour

And also with the assistance of her friend they can paint 1 room in 3 hours

Hence their combined work rate is 1/3 room per hour

Step two

The combined work expression is

1/A+1/B=1/T

Where A=Erica's work rate

B=Rachael's work rate

T=combined work

1/5+1/B=1/3

1/B=1/3-1/5

1/B=5-3/15

1/B=2/15

B=15/2

B=7.5 hours

It will take Rachel 7 hours 30min to paint the room
