Answer:
3.7 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Pat could do the job alone in 8 hours.
Patti could do the job alone in 7 hours
Output = Rate * time
Let the rate at which pat does the work = Rp
Let the rate at which Patti does the work = Rt
Let X be the total output
Rp * 8 = X
Rp = X/8
Rt * 7 = X
Rt = X/7
If both pat and Patti pick apples, we have
(Rp+Rt)T = X
(X/8 + X/7)T = X
[(7X + 8X)/56]T = X
[X(7+8)/56]T = X
Divide both sides by X
[(7+8)/56]T = 1
(15/56)T = 1
T = 56/15
T = 3.7 hours
You can exploit the difference-of-squares identity,
<em>a</em>² - <em>b</em>² = (<em>a</em> - <em>b</em>) (<em>a</em> + <em>b</em>)
Then
101.5² - 100.5² = (101.5 - 100.5) * (101.5 + 100.5)
101.5² - 100.5² = 1 * 202
101.5² - 100.5² = 202
A
Subtract 32 from both sides first, then divide both sides by 9/5
