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

hoa [83]

Answer:

15°.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Angles ADC and CDB are supplementary, thus

m∠ADC+m∠CDB=180°.

Since m∠ADC=115°, you have that m∠CDB=180°-115°=65°.

2. Triangle BCD is isosceles triangle, because it has two congruent sides CB and CD. The base of this triangle is segment BD. Angles that are adjacent to the base of isosceles triangle are congruent, then

m∠CDB=m∠CBD=65°.

The sum of the measures of interior angles of triangle is 180°, therefore,

m∠CDB+m∠CBD+m∠BCD=180° and

m∠BCD=180°-65°-65°=50°.

3. Triangle ABC is isosceles, with base BC. Then

m∠ABC=m∠ACB.

From the previous you have that m∠ABC=65° (angle ABC is exactly angle CBD). So

m∠ACB=65°.

4. Angles BCD and DCA together form angle ACB. This gives you

m∠ACB=m∠ACD+m∠BCD,

m∠ACD=65°-50°=15°.

Have a good Day!

FIND THE VALUE OF X AND Y.(ordered pairs)<br><br>(x+y,0)=(8,x-y)​
Aliun [14]

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that...

x+y (from the first pair) corresponds to 8(in the second pair)..

0 (from the first pair) corresponds to x-y (in the second pair)..

Hence,

x + y = 8 \\ x - y = 0

By simply adding the two equations we get,

2x = 8 \\ x  = 4

Hence,

By substituting x=4, we get that y=4

Hence,

x=y=4
