You would take the 36 and divide it by the 3 then add 6
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
and now we solve for x. Multiply everything by the LCM to get rid of the fractions. That would be 15x:
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.
They are easy to compare if they all have the same common denominator, then you can easily order them by the magnitude of the numerators...
85/10, -67/10, -56/10, 82/10 so now they are easy to compare...so
-6.7, -28/5, 8.2, 17/2
Answer:
6^-1
Step-by-step explanation:
6^-6 - (-5) = 6^(-6 + 5) = 6^(-1)
A lot of things are going on in this question. Notice how the 5 is handled. It starts off in the denominator as - 5 and when brought to the numerator it becomes -(-5) which makes it + 5.
The answer is then easy. It is 6^(-6 + 5) = 6^-1
You could give the answer as 1/6 but that is not what the question says.
