You are remodeling your kitchen. you’ve contacted two tiling companies who gladly told you how long it took their workers to tile a floor of a similar size. jim completed half the floor in 4hours. pete completed the other half in 2hours. if pete can lay 25 more tiles per hour than jim, at what rate can jim lay tiles?

i think 5 miles per hour

step-by-step explanation:

it is x=-4

step-by-step explanation:

p ÷ r = tan(x)

step-by-step explanation:

given that there is a figure below shows a right triangle: a right triangle is shown with hypotenuse equal to q units and the length of the legs equal to p units and r units.

graph is missing so i will create the graph as per given information.

the angle between the legs having lengths p units and q units is y degrees. the angle between the legs having lengths r units and q units is x degrees.

now we need to find about what is p ÷ r equal to.

so we can use trigonometric ratio tan(x)=[altitude]/[base] to find the value of p ÷ r, because p is the altitude and r is the base.

p ÷ r=tan(x)

hence final answer is p ÷ r=tan(x).
