ANSWER
Paul and Matt will take
![9.9 \: \: hours](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=9.9%20%5C%3A%20%5C%3A%20hours)
to install the floor working together.
EXPLANATION
First, calculate Paul's rate, which is
![= \frac{1}{18}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B18%7D%20)
Next, calculate Matt's rate, which is,
![= \frac{1}{22}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B22%7D%20)
Let us assume that, Paul and Matt took
![x \: hours](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=x%20%5C%3A%20hours)
to do the work together.
Then, the rate of working together is,
![= \frac{1}{x}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7Bx%7D%20)
Now, add the individual rates and equate to the rate of working together to form an equation that will help us solve for x.
![\frac{1}{18} + \frac{1}{22} = \frac{1}{x}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B18%7D%20%2B%20%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B22%7D%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7Bx%7D%20)
Simplify the left hand side
![\frac{11 + 9}{198} = \frac{1}{x}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Cfrac%7B11%20%2B%209%7D%7B198%7D%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7Bx%7D%20)
![\frac{20}{198} = \frac{1}{x}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Cfrac%7B20%7D%7B198%7D%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7Bx%7D%20)
We reciprocate both sides to get (You could have also done cross multiplication).
![\frac{198}{20} = \frac{x}{1}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Cfrac%7B198%7D%7B20%7D%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7Bx%7D%7B1%7D%20)
Answer:
10!
Step-by-step explanation:
Exuse me if im wrong :')
Answer is B. No matter what the x or y will be the result will be 0. Anything multiplied by 0 is equal to 0.
Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
3 squared is 9. 5 squared is 25. 25 + 9 = 34. 5 + 3 = 8. So the smaller number is 3.
