Working alone, it takes Shanice nine hours to pick forty bushels of apples. Elisa can
pick the same amount in eight hours. If they
worked together how long would it take
them?

roughly 4 hours and 24 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

S= 4.44 a/h

E= 5 a/h

If worked together, x(4.44+5)=40

x= 4.24

options a,b,c are the right answer.

step-by-step explanation:

a linear parent function is always represented as y = x

if we write this function in the form of y=mx+c

⇒

or  

now if we plot a graph we will find these characteristics:

1) y intercept of the graph is zero so its a straight line passing through origin.

2) as we can see in both the forms of function written, values of x and y may be either positive or negative for the positive slope means points on the graph are either in first quadrant or in third one.

3) it's slope is one.
