A=1/10, b=1/12, c=1/15 (these are the rates for each worker...)
1.)
2(1/10)+4(1/12)+t/15=1
1/5+1/3+t/15=1
(3+5+t)/15=1
3+5+t=15
8+t=15
t=7
So it would take c 7 hours to finish the job.
2.)
1/40-1/60
(3-2)/120
1/120
The drain rate is 1/60. So you will need to find t when the tank is empty, while starting at 2/3 capacity...
2/3-t/60=0
(40-t)/60=0
40-t=0
t=40
It would take 40 minutes to empty the tank when it is 2/3 full.
We first calculate the percentage increase on the tax
Old value = 25×9 = 225 ⇒ The value 9 represents the 9 lots of thousands of the house's value
New value = 28×9 = 252
Increase in tax = 252 - 225 =27
Percentage increase = (27÷225) ×100 = 12%
The amount of yearly rent would be then increased by 12%
Monthly rent = $60
Yearly rent = 60×12 = $720
Increase by 12% = 720×1.12 = 806.4 ⇒ The value 1.12 is the multiplier, obtained from 100%+12%=112%=1.12
The monthly rent is 806.4÷12 = $67.20 which is an increase of $7.20 per month
Answer:
The first step to dividing fractions is to find the reciprocal (reverse the numerator and denominator) of the second fraction. Next, multiply the two numerators. Then, multiply the two denominators. Finally, simplify the fractions if needed.
