Answer:

72 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write this as a ratio

28 kg 36 kg

------------ = ---------------

56 dollars x dollars

Using cross products

28x = 56*36

Divide each side by 28

28x/28 = 56*36/28

x =72

Jenna can clean the gutters at her house in four hours. Her older brother, John, can clean the gutters in three hours, if they w

OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

1 hour and 42.8 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer this question let's call $t_1$ while it takes Jenna to clean the gutters

Let's call $t_2$ while it takes John to clean the gutters

$t_1 = 4$ h

$t_2 = 3$ h

t = total time

g = job = 1 (clean the gutters)

The speed of each one is:

$V_1 = \frac{1}{4}$ g/ h

$V_2 = \frac{1}{3}$ g/h

$V = V_1 + V_2 = \frac{g}{t} = \frac{1}{t}$

So:

$V = V_1 + V_2 = \frac{1}{4} +\frac{1}{3}$

$\frac{1}{t} = \frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{3}= \frac{7}{12} g/h$

$t = \frac{12}{7}$ h

Then, both together paint $\frac{7}{12}$ of gutters for each hour.

This means that it takes $\frac{12}{7}$ hours to clean the gutters together

Finally cleaning together takes 1,714 hours or also

1 hour and 42.8 minutes
