scientist A dissolved 1 kg of salt in 3 litres.
scientist B dissolved 20 pounds of slat in 7 pint of water.
we know that 1 pound =0.543 g
20 pounds=9.07 kg.
1 pint=0.5 litres
so 7 pints =3.5 litres
so dissoving 1 kg of salt in 3 litres of water and 9.07 kg in 3.5 litres of water
we know that for concentration kg/l units is used .
for A= 1/3=0.33kg/l
and B=9.07/3.5=2.59 kg/l.
so scientist A has prepared more concentrated solution .
Remark
The equation is job1/ time + job2/time = job3/time
Discussion
job one is the time it takes one of the workers to complete the job.
job two is the time it takes the other workers to complete the job
job three is the time it takes to do the job together.
Givens.
Let Marcus's time = m
Let Tony's time be =t
Let their together time = t1
Equation Substitution and solution.
1/m + 1/t = 1/t1
1/6 + 1/4 = 1/t1 The common denominator on the left is 12.
2/12 + 3/12 = 1 / t1
5/12 = 1/t1 Cross multiply.
5*t1 = 12 Divide by 5
t1 = 12/5
t1 = 2 2/5
t1 = 2.4 hours
Cost
1 hour = 43 dollars for labor.
2.4 hours = x dollars for labor.
1*x = 43 * 2.4
x = 103.2 dollars. <<<<< Answer
Answer:
2 3/8 is the answer
Step-by-step explanation:
11/4 - 3/8
We will find the LCM of 4 and 8, which is 8.
We will do 11/4*8, which 8/4 = 2 and 2*11 = 22
Then we will do 3/8*8 = 8/8 = 1 = 3*1 = 3
So the answer will be <u>22-3 </u> = 19
8 = 8
Mixed Fraction = 2 3/8
Combine like terms
-2x-4=-2x-4
Since the equations are the same, the answer is infinitely many solutions.
