c. 10/3 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's make a table.

Names:| Times completed in:| Field Space Covered:| Rate the field was . covered:

Aaron | 5 hours | 1 field | 1/5 field space/hour

Rachel | x hours | 1 field | 1/x field space/hour

Together| 2 hours | 1 field | 1/2 field space/hour

The 1 field represents that they covered the whole field.

The rate is found by dividing field space covered by amount of hours it took for them to cover it.

There rates individually should add up to the "together" rate.

$\frac{1}{5}+\frac{1}{x}=\frac{1}{2}$

Clear fractions by multiplying both sides by $5 \cdot 2 \cdot x=10x$ on both sides:

$10x \cdot \frac{1}{5}+10x \cdot \frac{1}{x}=10x \cdot \frac{1}{2}$

2x+10=5x

Subtract 2x on both sides:

10=3x

Divide both sides by 3:

$\frac{10}{3}=$

x represented the amount of time it took Rachel alone to cover 1 field.

10/3 hours is the answer.

The major difference is that a histogram is only used to plot the frequency of score occurrences in a continuous data set that has been divided into classes, called bins. bar charts, on the other hand, can be used for a great deal of other types ofvariables including ordinal andnominal data sets.

answer: 4 meters

step-by-step explanation: to you understand 2/3 better you can do 1 divided by 3 = . then multiply that by the 2 which is .66666666666666667 then you would do 6 x .66666666666666667 which is 4.

hope this .
