Answer: it will take them about 24 minutes working together
Step-by-step explanation:
1/40 + 1/60 =
6/240 + 4/240 = 10/240 = 1/24
1/24 = 1/t
Cross multiplication:
1*t = 1*24
t= 24
First thing to do is set up your equation:
45/x = 20/100
Cross multiply
4500 = 20x
And divide by 20

Answer: I cant see image!!!
Step-by-step explanation:
Again, nice problem. These are not super easy. You need to imagine the triangles in the figure and relate sides.
For instance: ADC, its hypotenuse is 15
For ABC, it is 20,
so 20/15 is the ratio between both triangles. Now let's choose the side with 'x'
x is one side of ADC, the corresponding side in ABC is 15 (the second longest sides). You need to rotate the triangles, etc ... That's the tricky part :)
So:
20/15 =15/x ----> x = 15*15/20 = 225/20 = 45/4
Which is C
Not sure whether it's too late to help you though!!!!
Also notice that it's kind of a product rule:
x * 20 = 15 * 15
I am sure the book explains a short way of getting to this equation, like sides opposite, blah blah, but what i told you is the reason. You asked for understanding it! Best luck!
