Working together, melissa and jing can mow a lawn in 5 hours. it would take melissa 8 hours to do the job alone. what is the value of r, the part of the lawn that jing could complete in 1 hour? a. 0.075.
b. 0.125.
c. 0.375.
d. 0.625.

The amount of work completed by Jing in 1 hour is 0.075 which is option A

Step-by-step explanation:

Melissa & Jing can complete the work in 5 hours

This means that the amount of work completed by Melissa & Jing working together in 1 hour is (1÷5) = 0.2

Melissa will do the job in 8 hours, which means that the amount of job completed by Melissa working alone in 1 hour is (1÷8) = 0.125

The amount of work completed by Jing when he works alone in 1 hour will be the difference of amount of work completed by both of them in 1 hour with the amount completed by only Melissa in 1 hour.

There Amount of work completed by Jing in an hour = 0.2 - 0.125 = 0.075

f(-12) = -12(-12) + 100 = 144 + 100 = 244
