Determine whether each statement "makes sense" or "does not make sense" and explain your reasoning. I can clean my house in 3 hours and my sloppy friend can completely mess it up in 6 hours, so if we both "work" together, the time, \(x,\) it takes to clean the house can be modeled by \(\frac{x}{3}-\frac{x}{6}=1\)
Determine whether each statement "makes sense" or "does not make sense" and explain your reasoning. I can solve \(\frac{x}{9}=\frac{4}{6}\) by using the cross-products principle or by multiplying both sides by \(18,\) the least common denominator.
One pipe can fill a swimming pool in 2 hours, a second can fill the pool in 3 hours, and a third pipe can fill the pool in 4 hours. How many minutes, to the nearest minute, would it take to fill the pool with all three pipes operating?
The temperature, in degrees Fahrenheit, of a dessert placed in a freezer for \(t\) hours is modeled by $$ \frac{t+30}{t^{2}+4 t+1}-\frac{t-50}{t^{2}+4 t+1} $$ a. Express the temperature as a single rational expression. b. Use your rational expression from part (a) to find the temperature of the dessert, to the nearest hundredth of a degree, after 1 hour and after 2 hours.
add or subtract as indicated. Simplify the result, if possible. $$\frac{6 y^{2}+y}{2 y^{2}-9 y+9}-\frac{2 y+9}{2 y^{2}-9 y+9}-\frac{4 y-3}{2 y^{2}-9 y+9}$$
