Using a system of equations, it is found that Peter had $48 at first.

<h3>What is a system of equations?</h3>

A system of equations is when two or more variables are related, and equations are built to find the values of each variable.

In this problem, the variables are:

  • Variable x: Peter's money.
  • Variable y: Henry's money.

The ratio of peters money to henrys money is 4 : 3, hence:

\frac{x}{y} = \frac{4}{3}

After Peter spent $12, they had the same amount, hence:

y = x - 12.

Then, replacing in the ratio:

\frac{x}{y} = \frac{4}{3}

\frac{x}{x - 12} = \frac{4}{3}

4(x - 12) = 3x

x = 48.

Q 06. Payson is thrice as fast as Amen at completing a task. They both pick up a task together, and complete it in 5 days. How m
crimeas [40]

Fraction are ratio of two integers. It will take Amen 20 days to do the task alone

<h3>Proporions and fractions</h3>

From the given question, we have the following information

Let the number of days Amen can take to complete a task be x

If Payson is thrice as fast as Amen at completing a task, then the number of das Payson takes will be 3x

If they both pick up a task together, and complete it in 5 days, then;

1/x + 1/3x = 1/5

Find the LCM
3+1/3x = 1/5

4/3x = 1/5

Cross multiply

3x = 20

Determine the time taken by Amen:

x =20/3

This shows that it will take Amen 20 days to do the task alone
