Let's make,
mechanic #1's rate = x
mechanic #2's rate = y

* Their rate is dollars per hour ($/hr)

mechanic #1 worked for 20 hours (hr × $/hr = $)
20x = money earned by mech#1

and mechanic #2 worked for 5 hours
5y = money earned by mech#2

together they charged a total of $1150. So the amount of money earned by both mechanics.

20x + 5y = 1150

the sum of the two rates was $95 per hour.

x + y = 95

which means
x = 95 - y

plug (95 - y) in for "x" in the other equation to get everything in terms of one variable.

20(95 - y) + 5y = 1150

solve for y

1900 - 20y + 5y = 1150
1900 - 15y = 1150
-15y = 1150 - 1900
-15y = -750
y = -750/-15
y = 50 $/hr

Now use this to solve for x

x + y = 95
x + 50 = 95
x = 95 - 50
x = 45 $/hr

mech#1 charged 45$/hr
mech #2 charged 50$/hr

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If you can present a problem in Latex, you can do anything. I don't know what the question mark is for. I'm just ignoring it.

55 2/3 * 66 5/6

One of the ways to get the answer is to use decimals

55.666666667 * 66.833333333 = 3720.38889

Another way to do this problem is to break up one of the numbers

55 2/3 (66 + 5/6)   You can do this if you know how to use the distributive property.

55 2/3 * 66 + 55 2/3 * 5/6

( (165 + 2) / 3) * 66 + (165 + 2)/3 * 5/6

167/3 * 66 + 167 / 3 * 5/6

167 * 22 + (167 * 5 / (3 * 6)

3674 + 835 / 18

3674 + 46 7/18

3720 7/18

If none of these seem right and you have choices, please list them.
