The carpenter makes 1/4 of the job per hour.
The assistant makes 1/6 of the job per hour.
When they work together, they make 1/4 + 1/6 = 6/24 + 4/24 = 10/24 = 5/12 of the job each hour.
Thus, it will take 12/5 = 2 2/5 hours = 2 hours and 24 minuets for them to finish the job working together.
Answer:
−6294≠Infinity
Step-by-step explanation:
−6294≠Infinity
Let the three numbers be x, y and z respectively, then
x + y + z = 62 . . . (1)
y = x - 4 . . . (2)
z = 4x . . . (3)
The above three expressions could be used to represent the numbers.
Solving the three equations, putting (2) and (3) into (1) gives
x + x - 4 + 4x = 62
6x - 4 = 62
6x = 62 + 4 = 66
x = 66/6 = 11
x = 11.
y = 11 - 4 = 7
z = 4(11) = 44
x = 11, y = 7, z = 44.
