Answer:

  • 59/20 days or 2.95  days

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Carl do the job in c days, Anne- in a, and Bob in b days

Then the portion of job they can do is 1/c, 1/a and 1/b

<u>As per given we have below equations:</u>

  • 1/c + 1/b= 1/6
  • 1/a + 1/b = 1/3
  • 1/a + 1/c = 1/5

<u>Sum of all 3 equations gives us:</u>

  • 2(1/a + 1/b + 1/c) = 1/6 + 1/3 + 1/5
  • 2(1/a + 1/b + 1/c) = 5/30 + 10/30 + 6/30
  • 2(1/a + 1/b + 1/c) = 21/30
  • 2(1/a + 1/b + 1/c) = 7/10
  • 1/a + 1/b + 1/c = 7/20

It means all three together can complete 7/20 of the job in one day

<u>The rest of the job is done by Anne and Bob:</u>

  • 1 - 7/20 = 13/20

<u>As Anne and Bob can do 1/3 of the job in one day, they need time to complete the rest:</u>

  • 13/20:1/3 = 39/20

<u>Add 1 day to this to find overall time:</u>

  • 1 + 39 /20 = 59/20 days or 2.95  days

A square has side length of 8 in. If the area is multiplied by 36, what happens to the side length? HELP PLEASE!!
GaryK [48]

Answer:

The side length is multiplied by 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a square is A = s². Suppose the side is 8 inches. This means the area is A = 8² = 64.

If you were to multiply by 36, then it becomes 64*36 = 2,304. Since squaring gave the area, it's side length would be found using the reverse operation a square root. Take the square root of 2,304.

√2304 = 48

The side length changed from 8 to 48 which is a scale factor of 6. This means 8 * 6 = 48.
