We will traduce the sentences into equations.
Let x be the number of hours in the first job, and y be the number of hours in the second job.
Then the equations are:

The above system has many solution, we can select for example:
x = 1, y = 16. So we can work one hour at the first job and 16 hour at the second job.
Answer: Would be 55% I hope this helps!
the ratio in which 42 should be divided is 1:2:3
the sum of the parts of the ratio is - 1 + 2 + 3 = 6
this means that there's a sum of 6 parts
so we need to find how much 1 part is equivalent to
if 6 parts are equivalent to 42
then 1 part is equivalent to - 42/6 = 7
so the ratio should be 1:2:3
1 part - 7
2 parts - 7 x 2 = 14
3 parts - 7 x 3 = 21
therefore 42 divided into 1:2:3 ratio is as follows
7 : 14 : 12
In this question , we have to simplify the given ratio, which is
12xy:3x
First we have to see which factor is common in numerator and denominator,
We can write 12 as 3 times 4, that is

So the common factor is 3x.
In the next step, we cancel out 3x

And that's the required simplified form .
700 - 175 is equal to 525 when you divide that by 35 you get 15 which is your answer.
