Answer: it would take them 4.24 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

It takes Emily eight hours to paint her house. Her unit rate of working in terms of hours would be 1/8

Mike can paint the same area in nine hours. Mike's unit rate of working in terms of hours is 1/9

If both of them can work together,Then, the work would take lesser time because they would be working together at their own unit rates. This means that the rates are additive. Their combined rates would be 1/8 + 1/9

Let t be the time it takes them to finish the work together. This means that their unit rate of working together will be 1/t. Therefore,

1/8 + 1/9 = 1/t

17/72 = 1/t

17t = 72

t = 72/17

t = 4.24

Jason wanted to place all 540 marbles in the 3 newly bought boxes. If he wants to
kotegsom [21]

Answer:

The first box will have 90 marbles, the second 180 and the third 270.

Step-by-step explanation:

Division in a ratio of 1:2:3

1 + 2 + 3 = 6

So

The first box will have 1/6 of the marbles.

The second box will have 2/6 = 1/3 of the marbles

The third box will have 3/6 = 1/2 of the marbles.

First box:

One sixth, so:

(1/6)*540 = 540/6 = 90

Second box:

One third, so:

(1/3)*540 = 540/3 = 180

Third box:

One half, so:

(1/2)*540 = 540/2 = 270

The first box will have 90 marbles, the second 180 and the third 270.
