Answer:
12/5hours=2.4 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Sam:6hours
Tom:4hours
This is a rate problem
Sam's rate is one job completed in 6 hours which is 1/6
Tom's rate is one job completed in 4 hours which is 1/4
Together, they could complete 1/4+1/6 of the job in y hours
We are trying to find the rate at which Sam and Tom could complete the job together, or one job in x days, for a rate of 1/y
1/4+1/6=1/y
The least common denominator is 12y
Multiplying through by the LCD which gives:
12y(1/4)+ 12y (1/6)= 12y (1/y)
3y + 2y=12
5y = 12
y=12/5 hours=2.4hours
Therefore it will take 12/5 hours or 2.4 hours to complete the job if they work together
15/50 * 2/2 = 30/100
Now you can easily see decimal and percent form
Decimal: 0.30
Percent: 30 percent
For this question, we can make the number equal to n. Since two less than it is equal to ten, we know that we are dealing with subtraction. In addition, we know that doing something to n makes it equal to 10. And that something is subtracting two from it. that means that the equation that represents this scenario is n - 2 = 10.
Answer:
Basically, you have to think: more bricks : more time
more workers : less time
2,400 bricks 6 workers takes 18 hours
You now have to solve for 4,500 blocks and 10 workers
4,500 / 2,400 = 1.875 (times greater)
10 / 6 = 1.666666666 (times less)
So, we get 18 hours, multiply it by 1.875 and divide it by 1.666666666
which equals 20.25 hours
So, it seems you were correct on your third try.
