Answer: 4/3 hours or 1 1/3 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question, we are told that two mechanics, Martin and Gordon, are working on your car. Martin can complete the work in 4 hours, while Gordon can complete the work in 2 hours.
Since Martin can complete the work in 4 hours, that means in 1 hour, he will do 1/4 of the work.
Since Gordon can complete the work in 2 hours, that means in 1 hour, he'll do 1/2 of the job.
When they both work together, we will add their fraction of work done in one hour together. This will be:
= 1/4 + 1/2
= 3/4
This means that both of them will do 3/4 of the job in one hour. Then to get the time taken to get the whole job done, we divide 1 by 3/4. This will be:
= 1 ÷ 3/4
= 1 × 4/3
= 4/3 hours
= 1 hour 20 minutes.
In one
You see, start at 1 and 1/3, and since the denominator is different from 1/6, find an equivalent fraction. Which is 1 and 2/6, now subtract 1/6 from that number. The answer is 1 and 1/6
Answer:
8.43 years
Step-by-step explanation:
Given data
Cost price P= $4995
Rate r= 10%
FInal amount A= $2150
The expression for the time/duration is given as
t= ln(A/p)/r
t= ln(2150/4995)/0.1
t= ln(0.430)/0.1
t= 0.843/0.1
t= 8.43
Hence the time it will take is 8.43 years
