Jason can peel 15 potatoes in 25 minutes. Janette can peel 8 potatoes in 1/10 hour. If they start peeling at the same time how many minutes will it take them to peel 406 potatoes?

9514 1404 393

  210 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Jason's rate of peeling is ...

  (15 potatoes)/(25 minutes) = 15/25 potatoes/minute = 3/5 potatoes/minute

Janette's rate of peeing potatoes is ...

  (8 potatoes)/(6 minutes) = 4/3 potatoes/minute

Their combined rate is ...

  (3/5 +4/3) = (9 +20)/15 = 29/15 . . . . potatotes/minute

Then the time required for 406 potatoes is ...

  (406 potatoes)/(29/15 potatoes/minute) = (406×15/29) minutes

  = 210 minutes

the nearest power is 1.651.

means 7482 to the 1.651th power is almost equal to 2489287

a.) list the factors of 40.

1/2/4/5/8/10/20/40

b.) list the factors of 40 that represent the number of cans that could be on each shelf.

5

c.) how many different arrangements of cans are possible?

just one because if you put more on one shelf you will go way over 40 and the cabinet will probably break.

d.) what are the possible arrangements of the cans?

put 5 cans on each self to reach 40 cans in total.

e.) which arrangement uses all the shelves?

5 because you can put 5 cans on each shelf, and since there are 8 shelfs you are equally going to get 40 cans.
