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>

Answer:

estimated gpa:  2.85

Step-by-step explanation:

Evaluate y=0.14x+0.75 at x = 15 (hours):

y = 0.14(15 hours) + 0.75

  = 2.1 + 0.75

y  =  2.85  =  estimated gpa corresponding to 15 houirs of study
