Using the together rate, it is found that it would take Miray 4.5 hours to spread the mulch alone.

<h3>What is the together rate?</h3>

The together rate is the <u>sum of each separate rate</u>.

For this problem, the rates are given as follows:

  • Together: 1/2.
  • Miray: 1/x, in which x is the time it would take her to spread the mulch alone.
  • Raquel: 1/0.8x.

Hence, applying the together rate, we have that:

\frac{1}{x} + \frac{1}{0.8x} = \frac{1}{2}

\frac{1 + 1.25}{x} = \frac{1}{2}

\frac{2.25}{x} = \frac{1}{2}

Applying cross multiplication:

x = 2 x 2.25

x = 4.5.

It would take Miray 4.5 hours to spread the mulch alone.
