Frank can build a fence in twice the time it would take Sandy. Working together, they can build it in 7 hours. How long will it take each of them to do it alone?
Answer
If Frank and Sandy can build the fence in 7 hours, they must be building
1
7
of the fence every hour.
Now, let the amount of time it takes Sandy be
x
hours so that Frank takes
2
x
hours. Sandy can build
1
x
of the fence every hour and Frank can build
1
2
x
of the fence every hour.
We now have the following equation to solve.

Thus, Sandy takes

hours and Frank takes
21
hours.
When you add a zero to the problem, it shows you are now multiplying in the double-digits. Let's say you are multiplying 12x12. First you cover up the one then multiply them. Then cover up the two and you have 10. When you multiply them, it ends in a zero. Don't think of it as adding a zero but adding to products.

Answer:
Wednesday (9 weeks later) = 10th October.
Step-by-step explanation:
We label the days with the initials of the names.
M= 4
D = 7
B = 6
LCM of 6 +7 = 42
LCM of 6+7 + 4 = 84
We find 84 is the amount of days we need to add on to july 18th
We first find the weeks 84/7 = 9 weeks.
As Wednesday July 18th is exclusive it would be 84 days after this event.
18+ 84 = 102 days.
31 days in july = 31
31 days in Aug = 31
30 days in Sept = 30
= 92
102-92 = 10
We now know date is Wednesday 10th October
We can check 84 days = 9 weeks
13 days in July makes 31st july
31 days in Aug makes 31st Aug
30 days in Sept makes 30th Sept
= 74 days + 10 days = 84
10th October is the checked date and we know it is also a Wednesday as Wednesday had stayed exclusive and prove that there are 7 days in the week to account x 9, to account for an exact 9 weeks later duration.
