For problems such as this, it can be handy to remember that
.. 1/(1/a +1/b) = ab/(a +b)
The time required to do a job is the inverse of the rate at which the job is done. Rates are added when people work together (in math problems, not in real life).
(2:44)*(3:14)/(2:44 +3:14) = 1:28:52.3
___
2:44 = 41/15 hours = 82/30 hours
3:14 = 97/30 hours
Using the formula above, we have a "working together" time of
.. (82/30)*(97/30)/(82/30 +97/30) = 82*97/(30*179) = 3977/2685 . . . hours
.. = 1 hour 28 156/179 minutes
.. = 1 hour 28 minutes 52 52/179 seconds

12 tables seat 4 people = 48 seats
28 tables seat 2 people= 56
therefore there are 104 seats
Answer:
1
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello!
Plug in 2 for x and simplify.
<h3>Evaluate</h3>
We could have also simplified the fraction first. If a fraction has the same number in the numerator and the denominator, then it is always equal to 1, no matter what values of x.
8=2*2*2=2^3
32=2*2*2*2*2=2^5
<span>[8^(2/3)] / [32^(2/5)] = [</span>(2^3)^(2/3)] / [(2^5)^(2/5)] =
= [2^(3*2/3)] / [2^(5*2/5)]= [2^2] / [2^2] = 4/4 = 1
Answer: 1
