Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If the bricklayer can construct the wall in its entirety in 3 hours, then he can get 1/3 of the job done in an hour.

If the apprentice can get the whole job done in 5 hours, then he can get 1/5 of the job done in an hour. If they both work together on said job, the equation is

\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{5}=\frac{1}{x} and now we solve for x. Multiply everything by the LCM to get rid of the fractions. That would be 15x:

15x(\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{5}=\frac{1}{x}) and doing that gives us

5x + 3x = 15 and

8x = 15 so

x = 1.875 hours which is 1 7/8 hours which is also 1 hour and 52 1/2 minutes.

Kelly has 4 times as many songs on her music player as Lou. Tiffany has 6 times as many songs on her
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

113

Step-by-step explanation:

we need to know how much Lou has first !

so we have to do 682 / 6 which = 113

then 113 / 4 = 28.2

28.2 is how much Lou has

so we will go back and multiply the 4

28.2 x 4 =113
