The answer would be D, 12 units! :)
To find the answer to this problem, you just need to figure out which total amount of candy is divisible by 7.
161/7=23
<span>162/7=23.1428571429
</span>145/7=<span>20.7142857143
128/7=</span><span>18.2857142857
Obviously, Julie cannot give a fraction of an amount of candy to someone. So that rules out that she had 162, 145, or 128 pieces of candy.
The only amount of candies that Julie could have that is divisible by 7 is 161 candies, which means that 161 is your answer.</span>
First, let x be the number of hours it will take for Hector to finish the same job alone. This means that every hour, Hector can do 1/x of the job. The amount of work done by Shawn and Hector in 6 hours should be equal to 1 complete work. This can be expressed as,
(1/9 + 1/x)(6) = 1
The value of x is 18. Thus, Hector can to 1/18 of the job in one hour.
