A factory produces 3/4 of a mile of thread every 1/4 of an hour. What is the unit rate of miles of thread per hour?

1 answer:

6 0

Isn’t this 12/4 of a mile of thread every hour? If the factory produces 3/4 of a mile of thread every 1/4 of an hour, then all you need to do is 3/4 x 4. 1/4 is like .25 so to make a whole number, you have to do .25 x4 which makes the whole. I don’t know if my explanation is correct or not but I do believe my answer is. (12/4 is 3)

Carl can paint a room 3 hours faster than Jennifer can

Nata [24]

Jen take x hours.
Carl (x-3)hours.
Jen+carl take two hours;
This means;
In 1 hour, for they work
$\frac{1}{x} + \frac{1}{x-3}$
= $\frac{(x-3)+x}{x(x-3)}$
= $\frac{2x-3}{x(x-3)}$
Working together, they take two hours;
Take reciprocal of above equation and equate to two;
= $\frac{x(x-3)}{2x-3} =2$
$x^{2}$ -3x=4x-6
$x^{2} -7x+6=0$
$x^{2}$ -x-6x+6=0
x(x-1)-6(x-1)=0
(x-6)(x-1)=0
Take the bracket x-6=0 so that Carl works positive hours
x-6=0
x=6
