Answer:
x > 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: it will take them about 24 minutes working together
Step-by-step explanation:
1/40 + 1/60 =
6/240 + 4/240 = 10/240 = 1/24
1/24 = 1/t
Cross multiplication:
1*t = 1*24
t= 24
Answer:
Maria needs 3 lengths of gutter of finish the shed.
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to calculate the perimeter of the rectangular shed to know how much 5 feet gutter is needed.
The perimeter of the shed is p = 2(l + b) where l = 10ft and b = 9 ft
p = 2(10 + 9) = 2(19) = 38 ft
Now, the perimeter of the shed also equal 23 ft of gutter already installed plus 5x ft gutter where x = number of gutters.
So 23 + 5x = 38
collecting like terms, we have
5x = 38 - 23
5x = 15
dividing through by 5 we have
5x/5 = 15/5
x = 15/5
x = 3
So, Maria needs 3 lengths of gutter of finish the shed.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
20/6 - 4/6= 16/6= 2 4/6= 2 2/3
A common factor of both 126 and 399 is 3 so we can divide both numbers by 3.
126 / 3 = 42
399 / 3 = 133
A common factor for both 42 and 133 is 7 so we can divide both numbers by 7.
42 / 7 = 6
133 / 7 = 19
19 is a prime number so we can't reduce it anymore, therefore 126/399 in its simplest form is 6/19
