Answer:
25 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
When there are to people washing one elephant they will take half the time.
So half of the longest time will be the answer to the question.
Mary takes longer then Nigel so once Nigel is finished Mary will still wash her side for 5 minutes extra.
Note that they together ate all of the pizza.
Therefore the total fractions they ate should add up to 1.
By letting the fraction Jodie ate be x.
x + 2/5 + 1/4 = 1
x = 7/20
The answer is 7/20.

Answer:
$4.00
Step-by-step explanation:
We assume the price is proportional to the quantity of oranges. If p is the desired price in dollars, we want ...
p/8 = 0.25/(1/2)
p = 8(0.50) = 4.00 . . . . multiply by 8, simplify
8 kg of oranges would cost $4.00.
Answer: The ball hits the ground at 5 s
Step-by-step explanation:
The question seems incomplete and there is not enough data. However, we can work with the following function to understand this problem:
(1)
Where 
models the height of the ball in meters and 
the time.
Now, let's find the time when the ball Sara kicked hits the ground (this is when 
):
(2)
Rearranging the equation:
(3)
Dividing both sides of the equation by 
:
(4)
This quadratic equation can be written in the form 
, and can be solved with the following formula:
(5)
Where:
Substituting the known values:
(6)
Solving we have the following result:
This means the ball hit the ground 5 seconds after it was kicked by Sara.
