Answer:

Steve can mow the lawn in 240 minutes

Explanation:

It is given Hillary works three times as fast as Steve

When both work together the work is completed in 60 minutes

Let Steve can do 1 work in 1 minute

So Hillary can do 3 work in 1 minute

So work done by both in 1 minute = 1+3 = 4

As they can complete the work in 60 minutes

So total work = 4×60 = 240 work

As Steve can do 1 work in a minute

So time taken by Steve to complete the work =\frac{240}{1}=240minutes

Answer:

Steve will take 240 minutes or 4 hours.

Explanation:

Steve and Hillary can mow a lawn in 60 minutes by working together. However, Hillary works three times faster than Steve.

Let's assume Steve takes takes x minutes to mow alone.

This implies that Hillary can mow alone in x/3 minutes.

In a minute, Steve can mow 1/x of the lawn, so this means Hillary can mow 3/x of the lawn.

In a minute together then can mow,

= \frac{1}{x} + \frac{3}{x}

= \frac{4}{x}

In 60 minutes they can mow

= \frac{4}{x} \times 60

= \frac{240}{x}

This means that it takes 4 hours for Steve to mow the lawn alone.

bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

36.83 years

16.85 years

$63,710.88

$ 71,490.43  

Explanation:

We can use the nper  formula in excel  to compute the doubling time for the capital real GDP of both countries

=nper(rate,pmt,-pv,fv)

FV is the future real GDP which $28,900*2=$57,800 for France while that of Korea is $25,400 ($12,700*2)

PV is the present real GDP

rate is the economic growth rate of 4.2% in Korea and 1.9% in France

France=nper(1.9%,0,-28900,57800)= 36.83  

Korea=nper(4.2%,0,-12700,25400)= 16.85  

In 2045 ,which is 42 years from now the real GDP are shown thus:

=fv(rate,nper,pmt,-pv)=fv(1.9%,42,0,-28900)=$63,710.88  

=fv(rate,nper,pmt,-pv)=fv(4.2%,42,0,-12700)=$ 71,490.43
