If you're asking how this is possible,

Answer and explanation:

If Sandy and Allen's mother does the job in 5 hours

And Allen and Sandy's contributions completes the job in 2.5 hours

5 hours - 2.5 hours =2.5 hours

Allen and Sandy's contribution is half of the time it took only Allen and Sandy's mother= 2.5 hours

Therefore Allen and Sandy together will take 2.5×2 = 5 hours to complete the job alone without their mother

A similar example: if it takes one person 2 hours to peel 5 potatoes and it takes 1 hour to peel same number of potatoes if a second person helps, then this second person reduces the time used by 1 hour(50%) and would take 2 hours to complete the work.

Question 13 plz show ALL STEPS so I can learn thnx
evablogger [386]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  a) (x³ -x² +x +2) +2/(x+1)

  b) (x² +2x -5) +6/(x+3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Polynomial long division is virtually identical to numerical long division, except that the quotient term does not require any guessing. It is simply the ratio of the leading terms of the dividend and divisor. As with numerical long division, the product of the quotient term and the divisor is subtracted from the dividend to form the new dividend for the next step.

The process stops when the dividend is of lower degree than the divisor.

In part (a), you need to make sure the dividend expression has all of the powers of x present. This means terms 0x³ and 0x² must be added as placeholders in the given dividend. They will become important as the work progresses.

Flauer [41]
Number 16, he put 1/2 of his money into his savings and took the rest to spend. So fraction of his amusement park money he spent on rides and popcorn is (1/5 + 3/4) x 1/2 = 19/40 <=> A

Each 3/4 pound block for $6.50. So each pound block will be $6.50 x 4/3 = 26/3. They have 9 pounds of fudge, money they will make is 26/3 x 9 = $78

Find the value of x and y in the parallelogram below.
Delicious77 [7]
In a parallelogram, the opposite angles are equal and the sum of the angles is 360 degrees.

W = Z and Y = X
3y = 3x
Y = X = y
3y + y + 3x + x = 360
3x + x + 3x + x = 360
8x = 360
x = 360/8 = 45

Therefore, x = 45; y = 45

If Out of 550 calculators = 6 are defective,

Then out of 12000 calculators = ? are defective

\frac{12000 calculators}{550calculators} * 6
