George can mow his lawn in 3 hours, Al can mow his lawn in 5 hours.
How long will it take both of them working together?

Step-by-step explanation:

so let put into fraction

george=⅓

Al=1/5

so ⅓+1/5=8/15 (as both denominator will be 15 by X5 and X3)

We want to know how many hours they have to mow in order to mow 1 lawn.

This can be represented by the equation: (8/15)*x=1

To solve for x, we would divide both sides by 8/15. This leaves us with x=15/8 which is 1.875.

If you would like this answer in hours and minutes, covert the .875 to minutes by multiplying by 60.

This gives you a final answer of about 1 hour and 53 minutes.

stew reads at the fastest rate of 265 words per minute.

step-by-step explanation:

it's a given that felicia reads at 260 word per minute and on connie's graph we can see that she reads 200 words per minute. since stew's table tells us that he read 795 in 3 minutes, we can divide 795 by 3 to find out how many words he reads per minute.

795/3 = 265

stew reads 265 words per minute - he reads at the fastest rate since felecia reads at 260 words per minute and connie reads at 200 words per minute.

stew (265) > felecia (260) > connie (200)

i think the correct option is the second option.
