Adam can clean a room in 3 hours. If his sister Maria helps, they can clean it in 225 hours. How long will it take Maria to do the job alone?
2 2 = 12 Together time, 2 2 , needs to be converted to fraction 555
Adan:3,Maria:x,Total: 5 Clearlystatetimesforeachandtotal,usingxforMaria 12
1+1= 5 Usingreciprocals,addtheindividualtimesgivestotal 3 x 12
1

1(12x) + 1(12x) = 5(12x) 3 x 12
4x+12=5x −4x −4x 12=x It takes Maria 12 hours
Multiply each term by LCD of 12x
Reduce each fraction
Move variables to one side, subtracting 4x Our solution for x



Answer is - 12 hours

Fossils on continents that are now separated by <u>oceans</u> support the theory of continental drift.

<h3>What is the theory of continental drift?</h3>

The theory of continental drift was proposed by Alfred Wegener in 1912 and it states that continental landmasses shift position over geologic time on Earth's surface, thereby, appearing to drift together across oceans and into each other.

Thus, the theory of continental drift is supported by Fossils on continents that are now separated by <u>oceans</u>.

Also, we know that continents that are closer to the equator have warmer climates but fossils of <u>tropic plants</u> have been found on islands near the North Pole, thereby, suggesting that islands drifted from the equator.

In conclusion, coal fields in <u>Europe</u> match those that are found in North America, and this supports the theory of continental drift.

How do you solve this without using a calculator
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

You must know the basics of Trigonometry to solve this.

First, you must know that

\frac{3\pi}{4}

lies in the second quadrant, so sin is negative.

Next, since

pi/4, is the reference angle of 3 pi/4, this means that we can set up a right triangle with pi/4 as an angle, we get

\cos( \frac{3\pi}{4} )  =  \frac{ \sqrt{2} }{2}

\sin( \frac{\pi}{4} )  =  -  \frac{ \sqrt{2} }{2}

So the answer is A
