Answer:
18 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
Sophie can peel all potatoes in 45 minutes, in 1 minute she can peel:
Simon can peel all potatoes in 30 minutes, in 1 minute he can peel:
Together, in 1 minute they can peel:
- 1/45+1/30= 2/90+3/90= 5/90= 1/18 of all the potatoes
To peel all the potatoes they need:
- 1 ÷ 1/18= 1 × 18= 18 minutes
So it will take them 18 minutes to peel all the potatoes
Write and solve an equation of ratios:
x 9
---- = ----
16 x
Cross mult., we get x^2 = (16)(9)
Taking the sqrt of both sides, we get x = plus or minus (4)(3), or
x= plus or minus 12
Since x is measure of distance here, omit the -12 result. x = +12 units
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
there is no solution:
6-2(3-2x) = -4(3-x)
6-6+4x= -12+4x
4x= -12+4x
0=-12
