Answer:

Let x equal the amount of time required for the second press to complete the job on its own.

The second press then operates at a rate of 1/x of the job per hour.

The two presses work together at a rate of 1/2 of the job per hour.

And the first press operates at a rate of one-sixth of the job per hour.

As a result, our equation to solve is:

1/6+1/x=1/2 multiply each term by 6x x+6=3x subtract x from each side x-x+6=3x-x group like terms together

2x=6 multiply both sides by 2 x=3 the number of hours required for the second press to finish the job

CK

1/6+1/3=1/2

1/6+2/6=1/2\s3/6=1/2

1/2=1/2\salso\s(1/6)*2=1/3\s(1/3)*2=2/3\s2/3+1/3=1 (Only one job)

1=1

if two triangles are similar then we can use the similarity ratio to find the length of CH

60/156 = x/169 cross multiply expressions

156x = 10140 divide both sides by 156

x = 65

Donna is running around a track.It takes her 3 1/2 minutes to run 1/4 of a lap.If she keeps running at the same speed,how long w
meriva

Answer:

70 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

3 1/2 ÷1/4= 14 ×5= 70

so you first make 3 1/2 to an improper fraction, then you find the greatest common denominator between 7/2 and 1/4 which is 4, so you multiple 7/2 by 2 and get 14/4 and divide that by 1/4 and get 14minutes now multiply that by 5 laps and receive 70 minutes.
