Matthew helped clean the kitchen for 1/3 hour. He helped with the laundry for 1 1/2 hours.

Altogether, how many hours did Matthew help clean the kitchen and help with laundry?

(Any could be possible answers)=> 11/6 hours, 1 5/6 hours, 1 hour and 50 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok, let's set up a system here.

Let kitchen = 1/3 hours

Let laundry = 1 1/2 hours

The question is asking that we need to add all together the support that Matthew was doing during cleaning the kitchen and help with laundry.

So, technically it's going to result in this:

Kitchen + Laundry = Hours together

So, you plug it in with it's definition, and simply solve it:

1/3 + 1 1/2 = Hours Together

1/3 + 3/2 = Hours together

2/6 + 9/6 = Hours Together

11/6 = Hours together

Step-by-step explanation:

Original formula: T^2 = 2p + as

T^2 - 2p = as

s = (T^2 - 2p) / a
