Paul can build a desk in 12

Mathematics
1 answer:
DaniilM [7]3 years ago

Answer:

288

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find how much of the desk each person can finish in 1 hour. Paul can finish 1/12 because he finishes the whole thing in 12 hours and Shawn can finish 1/8 because he finishes the whole thing in 8 hours.

Then find a common denominator and add those together to find how much they could do together in 1 hour.

2/24 + 3/24 = 5/24 So they can finish 5/24 of the desk in 1 hour if they work together.

So to finish 24/24 of the desk, they'll need to do 4 hours (20/24 of the desk) and 48 minutes (4/24 of the desk)

It asked for the number of minutes, so multiply 4 by 60 and add 48 to find the total number of minutes. 4*60 = 240 and 240 + 48 = 288

So it will take them 288 minutes to build the desk together.

3 3/5 + 9 3/5 answer with a mixed number in simplest form
Romashka [77]

Both fractions have the same denominator so it's going to be easy. First set up your equation:

3 \frac{3}{5} + 9 \frac{3}{5}

Add the whole numbers:

3 + 9 = 12

Now add the fractions:

\frac{3}{5} + \frac{3}{5} = \frac{6}{5}

add both together:

12 + \frac{6}{5} = 12 \frac{6}{5}

\frac{6}{5} is an improper fraction so change it:

12 \frac{6}{5} = 13 \frac{1}{5}

Since 6 is one more than 5, add 1 to the whole number and subtract the numerator and denominator(6 - 5 = 1) and make the remaining the new numerator. That leaves you with 13 \frac{1}{5}

Your answer is 13 \frac{1}{5}
