Maurice and three other volunteers work at the hospital every week. if the number of hours each volunteer works is always the sa
me, how many total volunteer hours are worked per week at the hospital in order for each person to volunteer 12 hours a week?in the problem above, how many volunteers are working at this hospital?
Maurice ( 1 volunteer) and three other volunteers = 4 total of volunteers working at the hospital. Each volunteer works always the same number of hours, and each volunteer works 12 hours per week.
4 volunteers X 12 hours a week = 48 volunteer hours a week.
48 is the total of volunteer hours the 4 volunteers work per week.
1st; t+u=10 2nd: t-u=6 Add 1st and 2nd and solve for t,as follows: 2t = 16 t = 8 Substitute in t+u=10 to solve for u: 8+u=10 u = 2 Original Number = 82</span>
