Answer:

48 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Reggie can line 1/120 of a football field in 1 minute while Rosalinda can line 1/80 of a football field in 1 minute.

Therefore adding the 2 fractions we get; that BOTH of them can line 1/120+1/80 of a field in 1 minute. 1/120+1/80=1/48.

1/48 of a field can be done in a minute, so it would take them 48 minutes to do 48/48 or 1 whole field.

Answer:

48 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that;

Rosalinda can line the football field in 80 minutes

Reggie can line the football field in 120 minutes

Lets assume that if they work together, they will take T minutes to line the football field

Hence;

Thus in 1 minute, Rosalina can line 1/80 of the field where as Reggie can line 1/120 of the field

\frac{1}{T} =\frac{1}{120} +\frac{1}{80} \\\\\frac{1}{T} =\frac{2+3}{240}\\\\

The sum of the two fractions will represent the size of the field that can be lined in 1 minute.

\frac{1}{T} =\frac{5}{240} \\\\\frac{1}{T} =\frac{1}{48} \\T= 48

The reciprocal of the sum of the two fractions will represent the time taken for both Rosalinda and Reggie to line the field.

Answer ; It will take them 48 minutes for them to line the football field

Mr.Vance's yearly taxable income is $35,675.What is the dollar amount taken out for taxes based on Mr.Vance's taxable income?
Archy [21]
This is an incomplete problem. The missing information is 

Each bulleted statement describes how the amount of income tax is determined for yearly income in different ranges.

1) Yearly incomes of $8,925 or less are taxed at a flat rate of 10%.
2) For yearly incomes from $8,926 to $36,250, the first $8,925 is taxed at 10% and any income beyond $8,925 is taxed at 15%.
3) For yearly income greater than $36,250, the first $8,925 is taxed at 10%, the next $27,325 is taxed at 15%, and any income beyond $36,250 is taxed at 25%

The taxable income of Mr. Vance corresponds to number 2.

⇒ 8,925 * 10% = 892.50
⇒ 35,675 - 8,925 = 26,750 * 15% = 4,012.50

Total tax = 892.50 + 4,012.50 = 4,905

The Barber are keeping track of their family energy costs. It costs the Barbers $0.16 per week to run their dishwasher. How much
rosijanka [135]

Answer:

It will cost them $8.32 to run their dishwasher for 52 weeks.

Step-by-step explanation:

With the information provided, you can say that the cost to run the dishwasher is equal to the cost per week for the number of weeks, which would be:

Total cost=$0.16*number of weeks

Since you want to determine the cost to run the dishwasher for 52 weeks, you can replace the number of weeks in the formula to get the answer:

Total cost=$0.16*52

Total cost=$8.32

According to this, the answer is that it will cost them $8.32 to run their dishwasher for 52 weeks.
