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.

Remember that the radicand (the area under the root sign) must be positive or zero for a radical with an even index (like the square root or fourth root, for example). This is because two numbers squared or to the fourth power, etc. cannot be negative, so there are no real solutions when the radicand is negative. We must restrict the domain of the square-root function.

If the domain has already been restricted to x \geq -11, we can work backwards to add 11 to both sides. We see that x+11 must be under the radicand, so the answer is A.
