On their way up the hill, Jack and Jill were stopped by their parents. It seems the two of them were trying to skip out on some

chores. They were told to mow the lawn, clean the kitchen, and sweep the leaves off the deck. If Jack can complete all the chores in 3 hours by himself and Jill takes only 2.25 hours to get all of it done on her own, how many minutes will it take for the two of them to get the work done together

Answer:

77.14 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Jack's time = 3 hours

Jill's time = 2.25 hours = 2 1/4 = 9/4 hours

Combined time = x

Rates :

Jack = 1/3 ; jill = 1 / 2.25 = 1 / 9/4 = 4 /9

Combined rate = 1/x

Setting up the equation :

1/3 + 4/9 = 1/x

Lcm of 3 and 9 = 9

(3 + 4) / 9 = 1/x

7/9 = 1/x

Cross multiply :

7x = 9

x = 9/7 hours

x = (9/7)* 60

x = 77.14 minutes

Combined time = 77.14 minutes.

What is the difference between Compound Interest and simple interest???
oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

Simple interest is calculated using initial principle while compound interest is calculated considering the interest also .

Step-by-step explanation:

Interest is the cost of borrowing money, where the borrower pays a fee to the lender for using his money. The interest, typically expressed as a percentage, can either be compounded or simple .

Simple interest is based on the principal amount , while compound interest is based on the principal amount and the interest that adds onto it in every period and the final principle is used for calculating the interest.

Simple interest is calculated  on the principal amount of a loan and it's easier to find out than compound interest.

M= 0 passes through the point (-1,3)
Len [333]

Answer:

y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

I will assume you want to put this in slope intercept form.

We need to solve for b in y = mx + b since we are given a point and the slope.

y = 0x + b

y = b

3 = b

y = 3

Note that since the slope is 0, there will be nothing to represent m.

Best of Luck!
