Question

Ammon and Nakia volunteer at an animal shelter. Nakia worked 3 more hours than Ammon. They each worked a whole of hours. Together they worked more than 27 hours. What is the least number of hours each worked?

Answer 1

7 because 27/3 equals 13.5 but sense Nakia worked 3 more hours then Ammon. So here's the work:  27 divided by 3 equals 13.5

Nakia worked 3 more hours so :  13-3=10    

Now let's add up 10+13= 23(thats too much)

so next 7+4=11

Now let's try 8+5=13

8-5=3

so as we see 8 is 3 more than 5 so Nakia worked 8 hours and Ammon worked 5

The ANSWER: Nakia=8 and Ammon=5
