Answer:

5 gallons of water must be added.

10 gallons to start with

adding 'x' gallons of water      final volume = 10 + x

.9 (10) = amount of vinegar

.1(10) = amount of water

amount of vinegar before and after water addition is constant

.9(10) = .6(10+x)  

9 = 6 + .6x

3 = .6x

x = 5 gallons of water to be added

Hayden is a manager at a landscaping company. He has two workers to landscape an entire park, Cody and Kaitlyn. Cody can complet
andrew11 [14]

Cody ALONE = 8 hours 
Kaitlyn ALONE = 6 hours 
Let Joseph ALONE take j hours 
Cody ALONE in 1 HOUR = 1/8 of the work Kaitlyn ALONE in 1 hour = 1/6 of the work Joseph ALONE in 1 HOUR = 1/j of the work 
Since TOGETHER they take X hours, in 1 hour TOGETHER they complete 1 / X of the work 
1/8 + 1/6 + 1/j = 1/X 
1/j = 1/X - 1/8 - 1/6 = (24 - 3X - 4X ) /24X = (24 - 7X ) / 24X 
j = 24X / ( 24- 7X ) 
After completing the work value of X will be known , calculate j from the above formula ANSWER
