Answer:

6.16 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of hours that washed the car together = T

Number of hours Matthew washed = m = 14 hours

Number of hours Arianna washed = a = 11 hours

The formula to calculate how many they wash the cars together is given as

1/a + 1/m = 1/T

1/14 + 1/11 = 1/T

Lowest Common Denominator = 154

Hence:

(11 + 14)/154 = 1/T

25/154 = 1/T

Cross Multiply

154 × 1 = 25 × T

T = 154/25

T = 6.16 hours

Therefore, it will take Matthew and Arianna 6.16 hours to wash the cars together

Kiera is in her last year of college at the University of Houston. She has a scholarship that pays 75% of her costs. Her classes
sergiy2304 [10]
If the scholarship pays 75% of her classes cost, that means that she has to pay the 25% remaining of the classes cost so if we calculate it as follow:

0.25 * $14,000 = $3,500 
 =================================================================
Another method to understand:
if the scolarship pays 75% of her classes that will be 
0.75* $14,000 = $10,500

now she has to pay the remaining of the total cost and that will be 
$14,000 - $10,500 = $3,500.
