Answer:

It would take 4\frac{4}{17} or <u>4.24 hours</u> to oil the lanes if they work together.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Time to oil the lanes by Jimmy alone = 8 hours

Time to oil the lanes by Perry alone = 9 hours

Now, let the time taken by both working together be 'x' hours.

Part of the work done in 1 hour by Jimmy alone = \frac{1}{8}

Part of the work done in 1 hour by Perry alone = \frac{1}{9}

Part of the work done in 1 hour by Jimmy+Perry together = \frac{1}{x}

Now, total work in 1 hour is given as:

\frac{1}{8}+\frac{1}{9}=\frac{1}{x}\\\\\frac{1\times 9}{8\times 9}+\frac{1\times 8}{8\times 9}=\frac{1}{x}\\\\\frac{9+8}{72}=\frac{1}{x}\\\\\frac{17}{72}=\frac{1}{x}\\\\\textrm{Doing cross product, we get:}\\\\17x=72\\\\x=\frac{72}{17}=4\frac{4}{17}\ hours

Therefore, it would take 4\frac{4}{17} or 4.24 hours to oil the lanes if they work together.

<h3><em>315 red flowers</em></h3><h3><em>420 white flowers</em></h3><h3><em>315 yellow flowers​</em></h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

1050 flowers

3/10 of them are red=> 3/10 *1050=3*105=315 red flowers

2/5, (or 4/10),  are white =>4/10 * 1050=4*105=420 white flowers

=> 1050-(315+420)=1050-735=315 yellow flowers​
