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.

Answer:

5 worker

Step-by-step explanation:

Two men complete carpeting = 10 days

Total time taken to complete the work= Number of men× Number of days

Total time taken to complete the work= 2×10

Total time taken to complete the work= 20

Let x number of men complete the work in 4 days

According to question

4×x= 20

x= 20÷4

x=5 men

Number of 5 worker are required to complete the work in 4 days

Melanie buys 6 pounds of beef and 3 pounds of bacon. She pays a total of $63,
kupik [55]

Answer:

Cost of 1 beef= $7.5

Cost of 1 bacon= $6

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok so first of organize everything:

We know she buys 6 pounds ->beef and 3 pounds ->bacon

First we need to set up an equation of how much 1 beef costs and 1 bacon costs:

Let’s say f=cost of 1 beef and b=cost of 1 bacon

Now lets make the equation:

6f+3b=63. (She buys 6 portions of beef and 3 bacon and her total comes out to 63)

Now their is another condition that the cost of one bacon is -$1.50 per pound than beef.

So we can say b=f-1.50

Do you notice anything similar? The b has a value now and so we can replace the b in our first equation with the b of the 2nd (b=b)

So hence,

6f+3(f-1.50)=63

6f+3f-4.5=63

9f=67.5

F=7.5 (This is the cost for 1 pound of beef)

Now lets find out for bacon,. Now instead of doing this equation all over again just insert it into the b=f-1.5 you know make life easier for yourself:

B=7.5-1.5

B=6

Cost of 1 beef= $7.5

Cost of 1 bacon= $6
