Answer:

12/5hours=2.4 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Sam:6hours

Tom:4hours

This is a rate problem

Sam's rate is one job completed in 6 hours which is 1/6

Tom's rate is one job completed in 4 hours which is 1/4

Together, they could complete 1/4+1/6 of the job in y hours

We are trying to find the rate at which Sam and Tom could complete the job together, or one job in x days, for a rate of 1/y

1/4+1/6=1/y

The least common denominator is 12y

Multiplying through by the LCD which gives:

12y(1/4)+ 12y (1/6)= 12y (1/y)

3y + 2y=12

5y = 12

y=12/5 hours=2.4hours

Therefore it will take 12/5 hours or 2.4 hours to complete the job if they work together

Three moons are in the same circular orbit around a planet. The moons are each 120,000 kilometers from the surface of the planet
VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Alright, lets get started.

Please refer the diagram I have attached.

MN is the diameter of the planet which is MN = 60000

AM and NC are the distance of moons from the surface of the planet.

AM = NC = 120000

Since, angle ABC is given as 90 degree, it means, line AC will pass from the diameter of the planet.

So, distance between moon A and moon C is =

AC=AM + MN + NC

AC = 120000+ 60000+ 120000

AC = 300000

Hence the distance between point A and point C is 300000 Km.   :   Answer

Hope it will help :)
