Answer: Ruby: 22 hours, Isaac: 16 hours & Svetlana: 88 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's begin by assigning letters to represent our unknowns:

R (hours Ruby worked)

I (hours Isaac worked)

S (hours Svetlana worked)

Now let's see if we can express all three unknowns in terms of one unknown, according to the facts given in the problem:

R = I + 6 (Ruby worked 6 more hours than Isaac)

S = 4R (Svetlana worked 4 times more hours than Ruby)

We can see that we can express the hours Isaac worked in terms of Ruby:

R = I + 6, therefore, I = R - 6

Now we have all three unknowns expressed in terms of one unknown (R). Now we can write an equation to express the given sum of their worked hours (126) in terms of our expressions for one unknown (R):

R + (R - 6) + 4R =126

Now let's solve our equation for the value of R and then use our expressions for R to calculate the values for I and S:

R + R - 6 + 4R = 126

6R - 6 = 126

6R = 126 + 6

6R = 132

R = 132/6

R = 22 (hours Ruby worked)

I = R - 6

I = 22 - 6

I = 16 (hours Isaac worked)

S = 4R

S = 4(22)

S = 88 (hours Svetlana worked)

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

Let x hours be the number of hours Issac worked

    x+6 hours be the number of hours Ruby worked

   4(x+6) hours be the number of hours Svetlana worked.

x + x + 6 + 4(x+6) = 126

x + x + 6 + 4x +24 = 126

                  6x +30 = 126

                         6x = 96

                           x = 16

Therefore, Issac worked 16 hours.

                 Ruby worked 16+6 = 22 hours

                 Svetlana worked 22 × 4 = 88 hours.

First, you would start by adding 7 8/15 and 11 1/6 together. Starting with the whole numbers you would add 7 and 11, getting 18. You would then multiply 8/15 by 2/2 and 1/6 by 5/5, making them 16/30 and 5/30, you then add them getting 21/30, or 7/10. Then add 18 and 7/10 together, getting 18 7/10. Finally, subtract 13 1/6 from 18 7/10. You would start by subtracting 13 from 18, getting 5. Then you would multiply 1/6 by 5/5 and 7/10 by 3/3, getting 5/30 and 21/30, you would subtract 5/30 from 21/30, getting 16/30. Finally, you would add 16/30 and 5 with each other, getting 5 16/30.
