so two fellows did all the carpeting in 10 days.
now, how long did "1" fellow work only? well, it worked for 10 days.
how long did the other fellow work for? well, it was working alongside the first one, and it was there for also 10 days.
so the two guys working together, really did 10+10 = 20 "days worth of work". So that the whole carpeting job can be done in 20 "days worth of work".
now if we want to finish it in 4 days, 20 ÷ 4 = 5.
so if we hire 5 guys, since each one will do 4 days worth, 5*4 = 20 <- the whole job.
Can you please delete this. I have answered it wrong. Thanks
Answer:
r = 1/pt.
Step-by-step explanation:
1 = prt
Divide both sides of the formula by pt:
`1 / pt = r.
For this case we must find the solution of the following equation:
Applying distributive property on the right side of the equation we have:
Subtracting 7x from both sides of the equation:
Subtracting 20 from both sides of the equation:
Different signs are subtracted and the major sign is placed.
Dividing between -2 on both sides of the equation:
Thus, the solution of the equation is
