Question

Max and pedro both clean pools. Each charges a flat fee to clean a pool. Max cleans 12 pools in 8 hours and earned $270. Pedro cleans 9 pools in 7.5 hours and earned $195.75. How many pools do they clean in per hour?

Answer 1

Answer:

The number of pools clean per hour is 1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The number of pools clean in 8 hours = 12

The number of pools clean in 7.5 hours = 9

Let The number of pools they clean per hours = x

I.e x = $\frac{8}{12}$ +  $\frac{7.5}{9}$

Or, x =  $\frac{24+30}{36}$

Or, x =  $\frac{54}{36}$

∴   x =  $\frac{3}{2}$

I.e x = 1.5

Hence The number of pools clean per hour is 1.5 Answer
