The problem express that the fraction of time
worked by the three people need to be equivalent to one person working full
time. This means that the fraction need to add up to one. We know one person
works ½ time on the project and another works one third 1/3 time.
Given:
A = the amount of time that the third person needs
to work on the job to add up to one
1 = ½ +1/3 + A
1 – ½ - 1/3 = A
To subtract the fractions put them all over a
common denominator. Use 3 * 2 as the denominator.
1=6/6, ½ = 3/6, 1/3 = 2/6
A = 6/6 – 3/6 – 2/6
<span>A = 1/6 , The third person must work on the project</span>
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the cost of one package of tulip bulbs.
Let y represent the cost of one bag of daffodil bulbs.
Ava bought 6 packages of tulip bulbs and 12 bags of daffodil bulbs for a total of $198. This means that
6x + 12y = 198- - - - - - - - - - - - -1
Grace spent $254 buying 14 packages of tulip bulbs and 12 bags of daffodil bulbs. This means that
14x + 12y = 254- - - - - - - - - - - - 2
Subtracting equation 2 from equation 1, it becomes
- 8x = - 56
x = - 56/-8
x = 7
Substituting x = 7 into equation 1, it becomes
6 × 7 + 12y = 198
42 + 12y = 198
12y = 198 - 42
12y = 156
y = 156/12
y = 13
Answer:
5
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the distance between two points, subtract the two values and find the absolute value. So in this question, our equation would be |-2-3| which equals |-5| which then solves to 5.
