Sally can paint a room in 3 hours while it takes Steve 6 hours to paint the same room. How long would it take them to paint the room if they worked​ together?

2h

Step-by-step explanation:

You can solve this one by adding their rates, but you have to invert the numbers they give you to find the rate.  Rate is measured in something per unit of time, and "per" indicates division.  So the rates are: 1/3 of an hour (Sally) and 1/6 of an hour (Steve).  So add the rates: 1/3 + 1/6 = 1/2.  (1/3 is 2/6, and 2/6 + 1/6 = 3/6).  Since their combined rate is 1/2 of a room in one hour, it takes them two hours to paint the room.  

the 8 in 8,420 is in the thousands place so it's value is 8 thousand.

the 8 in 6,870 is in the hundreds place so it's value is 8 hundred.

divide 8000 by 800 to find the answer:

8000 / 800 = 10

the 8 in 8,420 is 10 times greater than the 8 in 6,870

answer: 12/52

step-by-step explanation: my reasoning is that there are 12 face cards in a deck and a total of 52 cards in all.
