Answer: 2.66 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Shawana can paint a fence in 8hours which means in one hour she can paint 1/8 of a fence.

Kevin can paint the same fence in 4 hours, so in one hour he can paint 1/4 of the fence.

Together in 1 hour they can paint 1/8 + 1/4 = 3/8

Total hours for painting is 3/8 or 2.66 hours

<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is:

The will paint the same fence at the same time in 2.67 hours.

<h2>Why?</h2>

From the statement we know that Shawna can paint a fence in 8 hours while Kevin can paint the same in 4 hours, and we are asked to calculate how long will it take them to paint the fence working together, so, calculating we have:

For Shawna, we have:

ShawnaRate=\frac{FencePainted}{TimeToPaint}\\\\ShawnaRate=\frac{1fence}{8hours}

For Kevin, we have:

KevinRate=\frac{FencePainted}{TimeToPaint}\\\\KevinRate=\frac{1fence}{4hours}

So, the combined work for both Shawna and Kevin will be:

CombinedWorkRate=\frac{1fence}{8hours} +\frac{1fence}{4hours}\\\\CombinedWorkRate=\frac{4fence.hours+8fence.hours}{32hours^{2}}\\ \\CombinedWorkRate=\frac{12fence.hours}{32hours^{2}}\\\\CombinedWorkRate=\frac{12fence.hours}{32hours^{2}}=\frac{3fence}{8hours}

Now, if the want to paint the same fence at the same time, we can calculate it by the following way:

\frac{3fence}{8hours}=\frac{1fence}{x(hours)}\\\\x=1fence*\frac{8hours}{3fence}=2.67hours

Hence, the will paint the same fence at the same time in 2.67 hours.

Have a nice day!

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Look at the figures below.

Figure A.

The median of a quadrilateral was drawn as the red segment. It split the interior angle of the quadrilateral into angles 1 and 2. Angles 1 and 2 are clearly not congruent. Statement A is false.

Figure B.

The red segment connecting the midpoints of two sides of a triangle is parallel to the third side and half its length. Statement B is true.

Figure C.

The red midsegment cuts the triangle into two areas, crosshatched in blue and green. The areas are clearly not equal, so statement C is false.

What are the intercepts of the equation 4x-6y-5z=60
Annette [7]
To find the intercept of a variable in a equation with more than one variable, you need to equal the others variables to zero.

-> 4x -6y -5z = 60

-> X-Intercept:
To find the X intercept, equal the Y and Z values to 0.
(Y = 0; Z = 0)

4x -6(0) -5(0) = 60
4x = 60
x = 60/4
x = 15

-> Y-Intercept:
To the Y intercept it's the same thing, equal the another variable values to 0.
(X = 0; Z = 0)

4(0) -6y -5(0) = 60
-6y = 60
-y = 60/6
-y = 10        x(-1)
y = -10

-> Z-Intercept:
(X = 0; Y = 0)

4(0) -6(0) -5z = 60
-5z =60
-z = 60/5
-z = 12         x(-1)
z = -12

Answer: The intercepts for this equation (15,-10,-12).
Or: x = 15, y = -10, z = -12.
