Answer: it will take a combined rate of 2.67 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Father can do the job on the farm in 6 hours. This means that the father's unit rate of working will be 1/6
The older son can do it in 8 hours. This means that the older son's rate of working will be 1/8
The younger son can do same job in 12 hours. This means that the younger son's working rate is 1/12
When they work together, they will be working simultaneously. It means that their unit rates are additive. The combined unit rates will be
1/6 + 1/8 + 1/12 = (20 + 15 + 10)/120
45/120
Assuming it takes t hours for them to complete the work while doing it together. Their combined unit rate will be 1/t
45/120 = 1/t
45t = 120
t = 120/45 = 2.67 hours

Answer:
A: 66/21
E: 22/7
Step-by-step explanation:
The offered choices reduce to 3 1/7 or to 3. The best approximations of those given are the ones that reduce to 3 1/7.
A: 66/21 = 22/7 = 3 1/7
B: 60/20 = 3
C: 21/7 = 3
D: 45/15 = 3
E: 22/7 = 3 1/7

<em>Comment on pi approximations</em>
The ratio 22/7 differs from π by about 0.04%. A better approximation is 355/113, which differs from π by about 0.000008%. The approximation 3.14 differs from π by about 0.05%.
Answer:
x is less than or equal to negative 14.
Step-by-step explanation:
so for now we should pretend that the greater than or equal to is an equal sign, and simplify the problem to get x alone on a side
remove 5 from each side
-x/3=1/3-5
-x/3=14/3
multiply both sides by 3
-x=14
x=-14
so we can now replace the equal sign with the equal or greater to, so x is less than or equal to -14
