The second worker needs 8 hours to clean the suite alone.

<h3> How long does it take the second worker to do the same job​ alone?</h3>

The first work does the job in 8 hours, then we can write the rate as:

R*8h = 1 suite

R = (1/8) suite per hour.

The other worker works at a rate R', and when they work together they need 4 hours, then:

(R + R')*4h = 1 suite.

Now we can solve this for R':

R' = (1/4) suite per hour - R =  (1/4) suite per hour - (1/8) suite per hour

R' =  (2/8) suite per hour - (1/8) suite per hour = (1/8) suite per hour.

So the second worker works at the same rate than the first one, which means that he would need 8 hours to clean the suite alone.

What's the distributive property for 16+48
ella [17]
The distributive property is when you have, for example, 2(1+3), and you multiply the 2 by both terms and add them together. so 2(1+3) = 2(1) + 2(3) = 2 + 6 = 8.

so with 16 + 48, to show the distributive property, you could divide by any common factor of 16 and 48. some correct ways to do this are:

16 + 48 = 2(8 + 24)
16 + 48 = 4(4 + 12)
16 + 48 = 8(2 + 6)
16 + 48 = 16(1 + 3)

you're just dividing 16 and 48 by the outside term to get the 2 numbers in the ( )
