You can make an equation with this information using a variable for the number of days and solve for that variable. Here we can use d to represent days.
Ryan can build 4 desks in a day, so you could express his production as 4d.
Larry can build 4 desks in 2 days, so you could say he makes 2 desks in 1 day, expressed as 2d.
If Larry starts work one day before Ryan, he's made an extra 2 desks. To get 32 desks, you need to add together those 2 desks Larry made, however many desks Larry can make, and however many desks Ryan can make:
2 + 4d + 2d = 32.
Then just simplify and solve:
6d = 30
d = 5.
It'll take 5 days for them to make 32 desks. Hope this helps! Please rate this answer as brainliest if you liked it!! thank you!!!
First let's multiply the whole numbers 2 and 4. Obviously that is 8. Now let's put aside the whole number and multiply fractions.
2/3 x 1/5 is equal to 2x1/3x5 so it's 2/15 which is already in simplest form.
So your final answer is 8 and 2/15 :)

Answer:
Option 4.
Step-by-step explanation:
Reciprocal of the second fraction turns the product into the division of the two fractions, which equals to 1.
Two fractions are said to be the reciprocal or multiplicative inverse of each other, if their product is 1.
