Jaqleen unloads a truck in x hours and Marco takes 2x hours.

Working together (x*2x) / (x+2x) = 5 hours

2x^2 / 3x = 5  Multiplying both sides by 3x equals 2x^2 -15x = 0

x = 7.5 hours

So Jaqleen takes 7.5 hours and Marco takes 15 hours

Double-Check (7.5 * 15) / (7.5 + 15) = 112.5 / 22.5 equals

5 hours Correct!!

A salad bar offers vegetable platters in 4 sizes (small, medium, large, and super-sized) and 6 different vegetables to choose fr
quester [9]

Answer: She could create 60 platters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: A salad bar offers vegetable platters in 4 sizes (small, medium, large, and super-sized) and 6 different vegetables to choose from.

Number of combinations of selecting <em>r</em> things from <em>n</em> things is given by:-

^nC_r=\dfrac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}

So, the number of combinations of selecting 2 different vegetables from 6 = ^6C_2=\dfrac{6!}{2!4!}=\dfrac{6\times5}{2}=15

Now, By Fundamental counting principle, the number of different platters she could create = (number of ways of selecting 2 different vegetables from 6) x (Number of sizes)

= 15 x 4

= 60

Hence, she could create 60 platters.
