Answer:

It will take them 2 hours and 55 minutes to remove the shingles if they work together.

Step-by-step explanation:

The together rate is the sum of each separate rate.

In this problem:

Jackson's rate is 1/7

Martin's rate is 1/5.

The together rate is 1/x, which is what we want to find.

So

\frac{1}{7} + \frac{1}{5} = \frac{1}{x}

\frac{5 + 7}{35} = \frac{1}{x}

\frac{12}{35} = \frac{1}{x}

12x = 35

x = \frac{35}{12}

x = 2.9167

So 2 hours plus 0.9167 of an hour.

An hour has 60 minutes.

0.9167*60 = 55 minutes

So it will take them 2 hours and 55 minutes to remove the shingles if they work together.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

WE can use the following formula:

\frac{T}{X}+\frac{T}{Y}=1

Where "T" is the time time working together,

"X" the time for person X working alone and

"Y" is the time for person Y working alone.

Based on the data given in the exercise, we can identify that:

X=7\\Y=5

substituting these values into the formula and solving for "T", we get that this is:

\frac{T}{7}+\frac{T}{5}=1\\\\\frac{12T}{35}=1\\\\T=(1)(\frac{35}{12})\\\\T=2.9167\ hours

Since 1 hour has 60 minutes:

(0.9167h)(\frac{60min}{1h})\\=55min

<h3> </h3><h3>Therefore, if they work together, it will take them 2 hours and 55 minutes to remove the shingles.</h3>

Hey

Question 1: For this one, we simply need to look at the "fat grams over 25" and the "Total" sections. We can see that 27 out of 50 have fat grams over 25. This written as a percentage is: 54%

Question 2: Using the same logic above we conclude the answer is 45.45%

Question 3: For this we need to look at the "total" section and the answer is 50

Question 4: We add all the "over 300" and write it as a percentage out of 50 which is 14%

Question 5: Same as #1 answer is 21%

Hope this helps

Rewrite as a power of 10: 1/10
Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to know how negative exponents "work" to understand this concept.

\frac{1}{10}=10^{-1 because if you want to make a negative exponent positive you put what the exponent is on under a 1. It follows then that you can go backwards from that and rewrite positive fractions with negative exponents.
