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

The Ross family had 100 relatives at their big Thanksgiving dinner of all the guest nine he had French heritage 80 had English h
il63 [147K]
Hi, Deedee. I am quite confused with the numbers that you've given because they don't add up to 100. Nevertheless, if by 'this', you mean the Thanksgiving culture, then you would just count the English and the Native American heritage. This is because the first Thanksgiving dinner was shared between the English colonists and the Native American tribes.

I hope I was able to help you in a way. Have a good day.

A group of church members chartered a bus for $832. After making the arrangements, 6 more members decided to join the excursion
g100num [7]
Let x = # of original members
Cost per person (originally) = 832/x
Cost per person after 6 more people = 832/(x+6)
Solve 832/x=832/(x+6) +6  (because the cost was reduced by 6 
Solve for x.
x = 26 or -32 (but x is number of members, so it can't be negative)
# of original members is 26.
Original cost is 832/26 = $32 per person.
