Answer:

2.4 hours or 2 hours and 24 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Jack mows 1/6 of the lawn per hour while Marilyn mows 1/4 of the lawn together. Adding up those rates yields in their combined mowing rate:

R = \frac{1}{6}+ \frac{1}{4}\\R=\frac{10}{24}

The time required for them to mow the entire lawn is:

t = \frac{1}{R}\\t = \frac{1*24}{10}\\ t=2.4\ hours

It would take them both 2.4 hours to mow the lawn together.

Pens cost 15 pence each.
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

The amount the school pays is £32.40

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost of each pen = 15 pence

The cost of each ruler = 20 pence

The number of pens bought by the school = 150

The number of rulers bought by the school = 90

The cost reduction (discount) on the items bought = 1/5

Therefore, we have;

The total cost of the pens bought by the school = 150 × 15 = 2250 = £22.50

The total cost of the rulers bought by the school = 90 × 20 = 1800 = £18.00

The total cost of the writing materials (rulers and pens) bought by the school = £22.50 + £18.00 = £40.50

The discount = 1/5 total cost reduction = 1/5×£40.50  = $8.10

The amount the school pays = The total cost of the writing materials - The discount

The amount the school pays = £40.50 - $8.10 =  £32.40

The amount the school pays =  £32.40.
