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.

2/3x + 6 = 1/2x + 1/4x
Dmitriy789 [7]
2/3x + 6 = 1/2x + 1/4x ...multiply everything by 12
8x + 72 = 6x + 3x
8x + 72 = 9x
72 = 9x - 8x
72 = x

What is the area of the triangle in square yards?<br> 6 yd.<br> 15 3/4 yd.<br><br> hurry plss
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

im guessing 6 is your base and your height is 15 3/4.

Formula of a triangle we must remember:

BH x 1/2 (basically dividing by 2)

94.5 (fraction form will be: 94 1/2)

94.5 divided by 2 = 47.25 <---------- decimal form

94 1/2 divided by 2 = 47 1/4 <------- fraction form
