Michelle can fold 4/54 baskets per minute = 8/108 baskets per minute.
Ruby can fold 4/108 baskets per minute.
Each minute Michelle and Ruby work together, they can fold
8/108 +4/108 = 12/108 = 1/9
of a basket of clothes. For 8 baskets of clothes, it will take them
(8 baskets)/(1/9 baskets/minute) = 72 minutes
Answer:12
Step-by-step explanation: 0.6 x 20= 12
Answer:
ok so first we need to find the area of the circle inside which is a=Pi*raduis^2
a=pi*1(radius is half of diamater)
a=3.14
ok then the area of the sqare including the circle is 16 so
16-3.14=12.86
this is is aprox since the area of pi is infinite and i just used 3.14
Hope This Helps!!!
If it takes one person 4 hours to paint a room and another person 12 hours to
paint the same room, working together they could paint the room even quicker, it
turns out they would paint the room in 3 hours together. This can be reasoned by
the following logic, if the first person paints the room in 4 hours, she paints 14 of
the room each hour. If the second person takes 12 hours to paint the room, he
paints 1 of the room each hour. So together, each hour they paint 1 + 1 of the 12 4 12
room. Using a common denominator of 12 gives: 3 + 1 = 4 = 1. This means 12 12 12 3
each hour, working together they complete 13 of the room. If 13 is completed each hour, it follows that it will take 3 hours to complete the entire room.
This pattern is used to solve teamwork problems. If the first person does a job in A, a second person does a job in B, and together they can do a job in T (total). We can use the team work equation.
Teamwork Equation: A1 + B1 = T1
Often these problems will involve fractions. Rather than thinking of the first frac-
tion as A1 , it may be better to think of it as the reciprocal of A’s time.
World View Note: When the Egyptians, who were the first to work with frac- tions, wrote fractions, they were all unit fractions (numerator of one). They only used these type of fractions for about 2000 years! Some believe that this cumber- some style of using fractions was used for so long out of tradition, others believe the Egyptians had a way of thinking about and working with fractions that has been completely lost in history.
