OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think it's C, correct me if I'm wrong

OpenStudy (usukidoll):

dude .... lol... still haven't told me why you think it's C? XD

OpenStudy (misssunshinexxoxo):

Why do you select C, Roman?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It took Alex 6 hours to do the job alone, 6r. That is what is missing I think...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And its asking "What is the missing value in the table that represents the part of the papers that Alex would file if Alex and Millie worked together?'

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well I just found my mistake

OpenStudy (usukidoll):

???????????!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Its D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I tend to change my mind a lot haha

OpenStudy (usukidoll):

it's best to understand the problem rather than guessing and possibly getting nowhere.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah I just read it, I'm pretty sure it's D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I should really read the problem fully through, but let me know if D is wrong

OpenStudy (usukidoll):

-_- where is the rate in that one though?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that is all it gives

OpenStudy (usukidoll):

given Alex and Millie - completes paper work in 4 hours Alex - completes paper work in 6 hours. (this is just him)

OpenStudy (usukidoll):

so what's the time portion for Alex?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how long it takes him to do alone? Portion is unknown

OpenStudy (usukidoll):

Alex can do the job for 6 hours if he's by himself... the time is given.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The answer is B, but why wouldn't it be D could you explain

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Because thats where I went wrong, What difference does the denominator and numerator being switched around make?

OpenStudy (usukidoll):

those guys messed up.. you can reduce that fraction xD

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Please? I just need you to explain that because thats where I go wrong

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh okay...

OpenStudy (usukidoll):

OH XD ahahhahahah! dang I didn't realize it That's working together / Alex only xDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Alright now I'm completely lost, I've gone mad here lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Just answer this, is the answer B? If not, why is it not B?

OpenStudy (usukidoll):

having the values switched for a fraction DOES make a difference.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Why and how

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thats what Ive been trying to ask

OpenStudy (usukidoll):

it's like 2/3 pizza and 3/2 pizza there is less pizza for 2/3 and more pizza for 3/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay, 3/2 of a pizza is not possible though

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hmm what do they call that again... oh yeah inproper fraction
