Ok so pete lays 10 more than jim per hour
pete and jim laid same amount of tiles
j=jim's rate
p=pete's rate
6j=5p
but pete lays 10 tile per hour faster so
p=10+j
sub
6j=5(10+j)
6j=50+5j
minus 5j both sides
j=50
jim can lay at 50 tiles per hour

Answer:
5,670
Step-by-step explanation:
how do you solve 135x42? (step by step please)
Answer :
= 135 x 42
= 5,670
We set up a proportion: 80/?= 32/100

80 is 32% of 250.
Answer:
Length of the ladder used by worker = 17 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Height of the window from the ground = 13 ft
Distance of fence from the building = 3 ft
Distance of ladder from the building = (3+8) = 11 ft
We have to find the length of the ladder.
Let the length of the ladder be 'x'
From the diagram we can also say that 'x' is the hypotenuse of the right angled triangle.
Using Pythagoras formula:
⇒ 
Here base length = 11 ft
Perpendicular = 13 ft
Plugging the values:
⇒
⇒ 
⇒ 
⇒
feet
The length of the ladder = 17 feet to its nearest tenth.
