Answer:

t =\frac{24}{7}\ hours

Step-by-step explanation:

For these types of problems use the following formula.

\frac{t}{x}+\frac{t}{z} =1

Where t is the time it takes them both to clean the entire pool if they work together.

x is the time it takes Anita to clean the pool

z is the time it takes Chao to clean the pool

So:

\frac{t}{8}+\frac{t}{6} =1

Now solve the equation for t

\frac{7}{24}t =1

t =\frac{24}{7}\ hours

Answer:

Anita cleans 1/8 of the pool each hour and Chao cleans 1/5 of the pool each hour.

\frac{x}{8} + \frac{x}{6} = \frac{7}{24}

then you take \frac{1}{(7/4} = \frac{27}{7}

your answer will be

slamgirl [31]

Answer:

  33/10 and 55/15

Step-by-step explanation:

Possible denominators that are multiples of 5 less than 17 are 5, 10, 15.

  55 in [45, 60]

So, there are only two possible fractions meeting your requirement:

  33/10 and 55/15

Need help please! Not sure how to do this
Kisachek [45]
This problem is fairly simple if you know the exponential equation, you start with y=78(.17)^x. the you put 10=78(.17)^x, then you solve for x 

10=78(.17)^x 
-78
-68=.17^x 
divide .17 then you have your answer!!
