Answer:

15 and 5 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Call x the time taken by the first chap, and y the second.

\left \{ {{x+y = 20 \atop {55x+60y=1125}} \right.

Let's divide by 5 and play with the LHS of the first equation a bit:

11x+ 11y +y = 225\\11(x+y)+y= 225 we know how much x+y is ( first equation!) let's solve.

11(20) +y = 225 \rightarrow y=5 At this point it's easy to check that x=15

The number of lines and triangles illustrates combination

  • 36 lines can be drawn to join the nine points
  • 84 triangles can be drawn using the nine points

<h3>The number of lines that can be drawn</h3>

The given parameters are:

Total points, n = 9

Total points on each line, r = 2

The number of lines that can be drawn is then calculated  using the following combination formula

Lines = nCr

This gives

Lines = 9C2

Evaluate the combination expression

Lines = 36

Hence, 36 lines can be drawn to join the nine points

<h3>The number of triangles that can be drawn</h3>

The given parameters are:

Total points, n = 9

Total points on each triangle, r = 3

The number of triangles that can be drawn is then calculated  using the following combination formula

Triangles = nCr

This gives

Triangles = 9C3

Evaluate the combination expression

Triangles = 84

Hence, 84 triangles can be drawn using the nine points

Can someone please explain step by step on how I subtract fractions like for an a example!
kotykmax [81]

Keep the denominators the same and subtract the numerators. So for example in your example:

7/8 - 3/8

Leave the 8 alone. Subtract 3 from 7.

7 - 3 = 4

So answer is:

4/8

Sometimes they may have to simplify the answer, and in this case, 4/8 could be simplified to 1/2
