Answer:

7hr 12 min

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

Bob  can type 2 letters in 4 hours

while on the other hand bill can do it in six hours

We need to find out the no of hours in which they type 6 hours

So,

Bob's rate is

= 2 ÷ 4

= 1 ÷ 2 letter per hour

And,  

Bill's rate is

= 2 ÷ 6

= 1 ÷ 3 letter per hour

Now

Together rate is

= 1 ÷ 2 + 1 ÷ 3 = 5 ÷ 6 letter per hour

We know that

rate × hours = production

Let us assume the hours be x

So,  

(5 ÷ 6)x = 6

x = (6 ÷ 5) × 6

x = 36 ÷ 5

= 7 1 ÷ 5

= 7hr 12 min

A man purchased a magazine at the airport for $2.69. The tax on the purchase was $0.13. What is the tax rate at the airport? The
alexdok [17]

We need to find the percent, let's start but making the equation.

The price is 2.69

The tax cost is 0.13

So what percent of 2.69 is = 0.13.

Equation: X/100 x 2.69 = 0.13

Multiply each side by 100 so we can get x alone with the price: 2.69x = 13

Now to get x alone, we must divide both sides by 2.69: x = 4.8

Finally, we just round 4.8 to the nearest whole number, which is 5 (5 or above give it a shove, 4 or below let it go, we have 8 so we give it a shove). This means that the answer will be 5%.

I hope this helps! :)
