Answer:

Peter will complete the job in 8 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice that  5 1/3 hours is  16%2F3  hours.

So, their combined rate of work is  1%2F%28%2816%2F3%29%29  = 3%2F16  of the job per hour.

Steven's rate of work is  1%2F16  of the job per hour.

Hence, Peter's rate of work is the difference  3%2F16 - 1%2F16 = 2%2F16 = 1%2F8  of the job per hour.

It implies that Peter will complete the job in 8 hours, working alone.

Answer:

150m^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Each square on a cube is 5 by 5 meters long.

The area of each square is 5 * 5, which is 25 square meters.

There are 6 sides on a square, so multiply 25 by 6, and you will get 150.

Find the greatest common divisor of 100 and 254, using • prime factorization- • euclidean algorithm-
larisa [96]
Via prime factorization:

100=10^2=2^2\cdot5^2
254=2\cdot127

of which the only common factor is a single power of 2, so \mathrm{gcd}(100,254)=2.

Via the Euclidean algorithm:

254=2\cdot100+54
100=1\cdot54+46
54=1\cdot46+8
46=5\cdot8+6
8=1\cdot6+2
6=3\cdot2+0

which means \mathrm{gcd}(100,254)=2, as expected.
