Answer:
they work together, it will take 2.4 hours to build the wall.
Step-by-step explanation:
One bricklayer can build a wall in 6 hours.
One hour work =
Another bricklayer can build the same wall in 4 hours.
One hour work =
They can together, how long will take them to build the wall.
Let's take "t" the time taken to build the wall.
The sum of their work rate = 1 (To build the wall)
Now we have to solve this equation. Take LCD of 6 and 4.
The LCD (least common divisor) of 6 and 4 is 12.
5t = 12*1
5t = 12
Dividing both sides by 5, we get
t =
t = 2.4 hours.
So, they work together, it will take 2.4 hours to build the wall.

Answer: 49/4
A 52-card deck is made up of an equal number of diamonds, hearts, spades, and clubs. Because there are 4 suits, there is a 1/4 chance to draw one of them, in our case, spades.
There are 4 aces in a 52-card deck, so the chance of drawing one is 4/52, or 1/13.
The question asks for the probability of drawing an ace or a spade. Because it uses the word "or," we add the probabilities together. This is because there is a chance of drawing either of the cards; it doesn't have to meet both requirements to satisfy the statement.
However, if the question were to say "and," we would multiply the two probabilities.
Let's add 1/4 and 1/13. First, we can find a common denominator. We can use 52 because both fractions can multiply into it (since the ratio came from a deck of 52 cards as well).
Now we can add them together.
This cannot be simplified further, so the probability is 17 in 52, or 33%.
hope this helps!
