Answer:
Second : 1/6 x + 47
Third : 1 2/3 x + 35 - 1 1/2 x + 12
Fourth : 5 (1/3x) + (5) (7) - (3) (1/2x) + (3) (4)
Step-by-step explanation:
I would start by expanding the expression, showing each step. Then, simplify by collecting like terms.
To expand, you multiply the term outside of the brackets by each term inside the brackets.
5(1/3x + 7) - 3(1/2x - 4)
= 5(1/3x) + (5)(7) - (3)(1/2x) + (3)(4) Showing how to expand
= 5/3x + 35 - 3/2x + 12 Simplified above step by multiplying
= 5/3x - 3/2x + 47 Collected like terms (35 + 12 = 47)
= 10/6x - 9/6x + 47 Change fractions to the common denominator 6
= + 47 Combine fractions with common denominator
= 1/6x + 47 Fully expanded
See which options match the steps I took to expand the original expression.
The second step is the same as option 4.
The last step is the same as option 2.
I bolded those steps that are the same.
Some options use mixed fractions (whole numbers and fractions).
From the third step, I will convert the improper fractions to mixed fractions.
5/3x + 35 - 3/2x + 12
= 1 2/3x + 35 - 1 1/2x + 12
This is the same as option 3.
On the left side, 5 goes into 3 ONE time. The ONE becomes the whole number. After 5 goes into 3, there is 2 left, which becomes the numerator.
On the left side, 3 goes into 2 ONE time. The ONE becomes the whole number. The remainder is 1, which becomes the numerator.
Answer:
Dwight will take 6 hours to finish the job alone and Joe will take 3 hours to finish the job alone.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us assume the time taken by Dwight to split a cord of firewood = K hrs
So, the per hour rate of Dwight =
As, Joe uses 3 LESS hours then Dwight.
So, the time taken by Joe to split a cord of firewood = (K- 3) hrs
So, the per hour rate of Joe =
Now, when both of them wok together, it takes them 2 hours.
So, the per hour rate of BOTH of them =
⇒ Per hour rate of ( Dwight + Joe) =
Now, solving for the value of K , we get:
Implies either K = 6 Or K = 1
But if K = 1, (K-3) = 1- 3 = -2 hours would be A CONTRADICTION.
⇒ K = 6 hours
Hence, Dwight will take 6 hours to finish the job alone and Joe will take (k-3) = (6-3) = 3 hours to finish the job alone.
