If George completed 3/5 of work in 9 days, it means that he needs 3 days to finish 1/5th of the work.

The remaining part is 2/5 because 1-3/5=2/5. 2/5 is also 6/15

From this, how much did George do? in the first 3 days he did 1/5th and then one more day was left, during which he did 1/5/3=1/15th.

So he did in total 1/15+1/5=1/15+3/15=4/15.
this means that Paul did the rest of 6/15, so Paul did 6/15-4/15=2/15.

So we know that he does 2/15 in 4 days, which means that every two days he can do 1/15 of the work

so he would need 15 times 2 days to finish the work - 30 days!

Lelechka [254]
The correct answer would be letter C. She needs to either break or tie the record. The less than or equal to symbol in the original inequality would be her scoring less or tying the record. Using the greater than or equal to sign would represent her breaking the record or tying with it. Hope this helped.

Solve 3x-2/4 - 2x+5/3 = 1-x/6
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

Pasos para resolver una ecuación lineal

3x−2/4−2x+5/3=1−x/6

Multiplique ambos lados de la ecuación por 12, el mínimo común denominador de 4,3,6.

36x−3×2−24x+20=12−2x

Multiplica −3 y 2 para obtener −6.

36x−6−24x+20=12−2x

Combina 36x y −24x para obtener 12x.

12x−6+20=12−2x

Suma −6 y 20 para obtener 14.

12x+14=12−2x

Agrega 2x a ambos lados.

12x+14+2x=12

Combina 12x y 2x para obtener 14x.

14x+14=12

Resta 14 en los dos lados.

14x=12−14

Resta 14 de 12 para obtener −2.

14x=−2

Divide los dos lados por 14.

x=

If you read can read 40 pages in 2 hours, how many pages can you read in 5 hours?
Pavlova-9 [17]
You can read 100 pages in 5 hours.

40 pages in 2 hours. We need to get the unit rate. In this case, we need to get the number of pages read in 1 hour.

40 pages ÷ 2 hours = 20 pages per hour.

20 pages per hours * 5 hours = 100 pages.

Thomas decided to take the plane to save some time. Unfortunately, the plane was delayed for 1 5/6 hours. How long did the trip
seraphim [82]

Answer:

<u>Finally, the trip of Thomas will take an hour and fifty minutes more than the normal time it usually takes.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's check all the information provided to answer the question:

Time of Thomas flight delay = 1 5/6 hours

Time of normal flight = x hours

2. How long did the trip finally take?

For calculating how long the trip finally took, we need to do the following sum:

Time of normal flight + Time of delay

Like we don't know the time of the normal flight, we will define it as x, then:

x + 1 5/6 hours

x + 1 hour and 50 minutes ⇒ 5/6 of an hour = 5/6 * 60 minutes = 50 minutes

<u>Finally, the trip of Thomas will take an hour and fifty minutes more than the normal time it usually takes.</u>

rewona [7]

Answer: There are 5 grasshoppers, 15 crickets and 20 ladybugs

Step-by-step explanation:

The question in english is:

Jose has found several insects. There are 10 less grasshoppers than crickets. There are 5 less crickets than ladybugs. If Jose has found 5 grasshoppers, how many ladybugs did he find and how many crickets? Write two equations to solve the problem.

Let's tag grasshoppers with g, crickets with c and ladybugs with c.

So, we are tolde there are 10 less grasshoppers than crickets:

g=c-10 (1) We have the first equation

Then, we are told there are 5 less crickets than ladybugs:

c=l-5 (2) This is the second equation

If g=5 and we substitute this in both equations we will have:

5=c-10 (3)

Isolating c:

c=15 (4) There are 15 crickets

Substituting (4) in (2):

15=l-5 (5)

Isolating l:

l=20 There are 20 ladybugs

Therefore:

There are 15 crickets and 20 ladybugs
