Start by defining your variables
let x be the mass of a single mango in gm
let y be the mass of a single orange in gm

now, write the question as a system of equations

3 mango and 2 orange have a mass of 200 gm
3x +2y = 200
4 mango and 4 orange have a mass of 300 gm
4x +4y = 300

now you have a system of equations
3x+2y =200
4x+4y =300

solve for x and y

It takes Leon 17 hours to seal his driveway working by himself. If Michael helps Leon, they can seal the driveway in 2 hours. Ho

Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

It takes Michael 1 hour, 14 minutes and 7 seconds to seal the driveway close

Step-by-step explanation:

Leon do the work in 17 hours that means the rate of his work is $\frac{1}{17} work/hr$ , so he do $\frac{2}{17}$ of the work in two hours, therefore Michael do the other $\frac{15}{17}$ of the work, thus Michael rate will be $\frac{15}{17} \div\frac{1}{2} =\frac{30}{17} work/hour$ .

So it takes Michael $1h+\frac{4}{17}h$ to complete the work, or $\frac{4h}{17} \times \frac{60min}{1hour} =14\frac{2}{17} min\\\\\frac{2}{17} min \times \frac{60 secs}{1min}=7secs$
