Using the together rate, it is found that it would take them 16 hours to sew 12 dresses.

<h3>What is the together rate?</h3>

The together rate is the <u>sum of each separate rate</u>.

In this problem, we have that:

  • Vera's rate is of 1/2.
  • Ivy's rate is of 1/4.

Hence, the together rate is the time it would take them to produce one dress working together, and is given by:

\frac{1}{x} = \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{4}

\frac{1}{x} = \frac{2 + 1}{4}

3x = 4

x = \frac{4}{3}

Then one dress takes \frac{4}{3} of an hour, and the time for twelve dresses is:

t = 12 \times \frac{4}{3} = 4(4) = 16

It would take them 16 hours to sew 12 dresses.

To learn more about the together rate, you can take a look at brainly.com/question/25159431

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

One of the most important things to understand about lines is the definition of slope. Slope is the 'steepness' of the line, also commonly known as rise over run. We can calculate slope by dividing the change in the y-value between two points over the change in the x-value.

What are the coordinates of vertex A of square ABCD?
bonufazy [111]
ABCD is a square . if the coordinates of three of its vertices are A(-1,2a), B(a,2a), C(a,0), find the coordinates of D. BC is obviously 2a (it's a vertical line) then AB must be 2a (notice AB is horizontal) so BC = AC because it is a square 2a = a+1 a=1
