Two bricklayers, sam and joe, are working on your house. sam can complete the work in 5 hours, while joe can complete the work in 3 hours. how many hours does the bricklaying take if they work together? fifteen eighths fifteen ninths six eighths four thirds

 Your equation is 1/5 + 1/3 =1/x To solve you have to find the common denominator which is 15 So (1/5)3 and (1/3)5

                                          = 3/15+5/15=8/15

                                                  8/15=1/x now cross multiply

                                                   =15/8

This is the answer I got.

option a is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

scale factor: it is used to find proportional measurements.

proportions means having the same ratio.

scale factor is the ratio of the model measurement to the actual measurement in a simplest form.

or we can say that the ratio of any two corresponding lengths in two similar geometric figures

if the scale factor is more than 1, then it is an enlargement,

if the scale factor less than 1, then it is a reduction.

given the two geometric figure:

by definition of proportions, we have

3100
