Answer:
C. 6
Step-by-step explanation:
to divide by a fraction multiply by the recirpocal of that fraction.
8/3 ÷ 9/4
reduce the numbers with GCF 4 which equals 2/3 x 9
reduce the numbers with GCF 3 which equals 2x3= 6
Answer: Kim can mow the greens alone in 6 hours.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let K be the rate Kim mows the greens, and S the rate for Shayla. The rates K and S will be in greens/hour.
We know they can mow 1 green in 4 hours. We can state this as a sum of their rates times the 4 hours equals one green:
(4 hours)*(K + S) = 1 green
We are told that K = 2S [Kim is twice as fast as Shayla]
Subsititute:
(4 hours)*(K + S) = 1 green
(4 hours)*(2S + S) = 1 green
4*(2S + S) = 1 green
12S = 1 green
Shalya's rate is 1 green/12 hours
Kim is twice as fast: K = 2S
Kim's rate is 1 green/6 hours.
9/16+ 1/2
= 9/16+ (1*8) / (2*8)
= 9/16+ 8/16 (common denominator is 16)
= (9+8)/16
= 17/16
= (16+1)/16
= 16/16+ 1/16
= 1+ 1/16
= 1 1/16
The final answer is 1 1/16~
