One way of approaching this would be to add up 3 and 2, obtaining 5, and then multiplying 15 by 3/5:
15(3/5) = 9
Then write and solve the equation of ratios:
3 9
-- = ------
2 x
Then 3x=18, and x=6. Thus, 15 divides into 9 and 6, which has the ratio 3:2.
Well parallel is lines that never met so it would like two lines but they never touch - I do NOT see a picture so I gave you the def.
Answer:
The answer would be 9
Step-by-step explanation:
27^2 would be 729
27^4/3 would be 81
now you have 729/81
divide 729/81=9
You can set this up as an equation
Worker 1 produces x parts
Worker 2 produces x+0.15x parts (0.15x is 15% of x)
Thus the equation would be
x+x+0.15x=86
You can solve that for x, which will be the number of parts worker 1 produces
x=40
now we can solve for what worker 2 produces
40+0.15(40)=46 (**since there are two workers, you could also just subtract the parts produced by worker 1 from the total number)
so,
worker 1 produces 40 parts and worker 2 produces 46 parts
