Answer:
x=24
Step-by-step explanation:
y = x*c
x=2, y=7
2*c=7 => c=7/2
x*7/2 = 84
x = 84*2/7
x = 12*2
x = 24
Answer:
6 2/3 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
Their rates in "jobs per hour" are ...
(60 min/h)/(15 min/job) = 4 jobs/h
and
(60 min/h)/(12 min/job) = 5 jobs/h
So, their combined rate is ...
(4 jobs/h) + (5 jobs/h) = 9 jobs/h
The time required (in minutes) is ...
(60 min/h)/(9 jobs/h) = (60/9) min = 6 2/3 min
Working together, it will take them 6 2/3 minutes.
