Answer:

correct answer: Bob's hose required alone 33 hours and Jim's hose required alone 66 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Bob's hose time = 50% of Jim's hose time ⇒

⇒ Jim's hose time = 2 · Bob's hose time

Let be x  Bob's hose time and  2x Jim's hose time

The following equation will solve the problem:

1/x + 1/ 2x = 1/22  

The common denominator for both fractions is 2x, so we will multiply the first fraction by the number 2 and get:

2/2x + 1/2x = 1/22 ⇒ 3/2x = 1/22 ⇒ x = 3 · 22 / 2 ⇒ x = 3 · 11 = 33 hours

Bob's hose time x = 33 hours and

Jim's hose time 2x = 66 hours

God is with you!!!

The first four stripes on a wall with 100 stripes are red , blue, white, and purple, These four colors repeat in the same order.
liubo4ka [24]

Answer: the 55th stripe is white

Step-by-step explanation:

The first four stripes on a wall with 100 stripes are red , blue, white, and purple. The four colors repeat in the same order. This means that Red always follow blue which is followed by white and then purple. This means that red would always start each new and consecutive set of four stripes and purple will always end it

We want to determine the 55th stripe. The last four stripes that include 55 ends with the 56th stripe. This means that the 56th stripe is purple. Therefore, the 55th stripe would be white because it follows purple.
