Working together three workers would take 1 hour 36 minutes to finish the job
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given that first worker can finish the job in 8 hours
So in one hour, first worker can do
th of the work
The second worker can finish the job in 4 hours
So in one hour, second worker can do
th of the work
The third worker can also finish the job in 4 hours
So in one hour, third worker can do
th of the work
<em><u>The three workers working together in 1 hour can do:</u></em>

The three worker can thus do
th of the work in one hour
Hence the three of them together can finish the work in
hours
hours
Thus working together three workers would take 1 hour 36 minutes to finish the job
Ouuuuuuuuuu I want a cookie
If the amount of monkeys is m, lions is a, and lizards is b, then a+b+m=151, 17+a=m (since there are 17 more monkeys than lions), and 30+a=b. Substituting those values in (17+a=m and 30+a=b), we have 30+17+a+a+a=151=47+3a. Subtracting 47 from both sides, we get 104=3a. Next, we can divide both sides by 3 to get 104/3=a (the number of lions), 104/3+17=the number of monkeys, and 104/3+30=the number of lizards. Somehow we end up with a fraction (not a whole number), so there are 2/3rds of monkeys floating around using this logic.
