Answer:

6 hours 45 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the time taken by Mr Caldwell to reach the same point as Mrs Caldwell =t

Mr Caldwell's Average Speed=45mph

Distance covered by Mr Caldwell = Speed X Time =45t

Mrs Caldwell left 3 hours later, so her time=t-3

Mrs Caldwell's Average Speed=65mph

Distance covered by Mrs Caldwell = Speed X Time =65(t-3)

Since they will be at the same point, it means their distance from starting point is the same, therefore:

45t=65(t-3)

45t=65t-195

65t-45t=195

20t=195

t=9.75 hours

It will take (t-3) hours to catch Mr Caldwell

t-3 = 9.75 - 3 =6.75 hours=6 hours 45 minutes

It will take 6 hours 45 minutes for Mrs Caldwell to catch Mr Caldwell

Find the answer to 1/8 + 7/12
dangina [55]

Answer: 17/24

Step-by-step explanation: Notice that 1/8 and 7/12 are unlike fractions. Our first step when adding unlike fractions is to get a common denominator.

The common denominator of 8 and 12 will be the least common multiple of 8 and 12 which is 24. To get a 24 in the denominator of 1/8, we multiply the numerator and the denominator by 3 which gives us 3/24. To get a 24 in the denominator of 7/12, we multiply the numerator and the denominator by 2 which gives us 14/24. Now we're adding like fractions.

3/24 + 14/24

To add like fractions or fractions that have the same denominator, simply add the numerators and keep the original denominator.

So here, if we add the numerators we have 3 + 14 which gives us 17. We put this over our original denominator which is 24. So we have 17/24.

So 1/8 + 7/12 is 17/24.
