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

what are the disadvantages of the American media’s coverage of the election process, and why do many people consider it bad for
MariettaO [177]

As for the main disadvantage:  the media need revenue. Revenue tends to be tied to reporting more dramatic events. In absence of truly dramatic events, the media develop tendency to "dramatize" (especially when it gets to political events). As a result we are observing what is usually called polarization. Media to the left and right of the center will tend to amplify certain aspects of reality. Viewers will then tend to focus on sources matching their own (political) affinities. Media source thus develop their own virtually separate audiences. A cycle of polarization emerges.

This is obviously bad for democracy which is based on the principle of educated decision making by every citizen. Citizenship has been more and more polarized and their decision making on issues delineated by political boundaries. Clustering is a problem. For instance, someone who cares about protecting the environment faces a decision whether to join a cluster of political views that include environmental protections (but also other views lumped together with environmentalism by the process of polarization), or completely stay away from that topic. That is bad for democracy.

The moment you see a person pronounced guilty vs. not-guilty by a vote that  almost exactly splits down by the political affiliation of the voters, we know we are having a problem.
