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 are the characteristics of the graph of the inequality x ≥ -2? The ray will move to the left. The ray will move to the righ
Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The inequality x ≥ -2 is graphed on a number line.  -2 is the smallest possible value.  All subsequent values are larger and therefore lie to the right of -2.

Thus, the following are true:

1.  The ray will move to the right (because x begins at -2 and increases, which means moving to the right on the number line).

2.  It will use a closed circle (because x = -2 is part of the solution set).

The graph of a line has a slope of -7 and a y intercept of (0,0). Rewrite the equation in standard form (Ax+By=C) with a positiv
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

the equation of the line is 7x + y = 0 .

Step-by-step explanation:

in the standard form of the line that is Ax +By = C we can write it in the form of

By = C - Ax

y = \frac{-A}{B}x +\frac{C}{B}

which is in the form of y = mx +c

where m is the slope of the line and c is y intercept made by the line.

comparing  y = \frac{-A}{B}x +\frac{C}{B} and  y = mx +c

we get that \frac{-A}{B} =m and \frac{-C}{B} = c

since it is given that slope of the line is -7 therefore m = -7 and c = 0

therefore  \frac{-A}{B} =-7 and \frac{-C}{B} = 0

therefore C = 0 , A = 7 and B = 1

therefore the equation becomes 7x + y = 0
