Answer:

4 19/20 hours or 4 hours , 57 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

In 9 hours Maria can fill a certain order let Say X

In 9/9 hours Maria can fill   X/9 of the order

in 1 hour Maria can fill   X/9 of the order

__________________________________

In 11 hours Jim can fill a certain order let Say X

In 11/11 hours Maria can fill   X/11 of the order

in 1 hour Maria can fill   X/11 of the order

_____________________________________________

Therefore total order filled by them in one hour will sum of individual work done by them in one hour.

Mathematically,

total order filled by Jim and maria in one hour = work done by Jim in one + work done by Maria in one hour

total order filled by Jim and maria in one hour = 1/11 + 1/9

=> 1/11 + 1/9 \\=> (9 + 11)/11*9\\=> 20/99

=>20/99 of certain order is filled by both of them in one hour.

=>Total order is one. Hence, to get 1 from 20/99 we need to multiply it with its reciprocal (i.e 99/20) as 20/99 *99/20 = 1

now

=>20/99 of certain order is filled by both of them in 1 hour.

=>multiplying both order and hour with 99/20 we have

20/99 *99/20 of certain order is filled by both of them in 1* 99/20 hour

Thus total order is filled by them in 99/20 hours = 4 19/20 hours.

1 hour has 60 minutes

so 19/20 has 60*19/20 minutes = 57 minutes.

Working together, Jim and Maria   will  take 4 hours , 57 minutes  to fill the order.

Decimals from 7.0 to 8.4 with an interval of 0.2 between each pair of decimals
Vitek1552 [10]

Decimals from 7.0 to 8.4 with an interval of 0.2 between each pair of decimals

We start with 7.0  and keep adding 0.2 till we get 8.4

7.0 + 0.2 = 7.2

7.2 + 0.2 = 7.4

7.4 + 0.2 = 7.6

7.6 + 0.2 = 7.8

7.8 + 0.2 = 8.0

8.0 + 0.2 = 8.2

8.2 + 0.2 = 8.4

So, the decimals from 7.0 to 8.4 with an interval of 0.2 are

7.2, 7.4, 7.6, 7.8, 8.0, 8.2
