Answer:

Dorsey = 4.8 hours

Campbell = 24 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

It takes "x" hours for Dorsey

So, it will take 5 times more for Campbell, so

It takes "5x" hours for Campbell

Rate is inverse of time, so rates are:

Dorsey: 1/x

Campbell: 1/5x

We know Rate * Time = Work

When together, it takes 4 hours to finish a work, so we can write:

(\frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{5x})4=1

Solving for x, we get the time of Dorsey:

(\frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{5x})4=1\\(\frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{5x})=\frac{1}{4}\\\frac{5+1}{5x}=\frac{1}{4}\\\frac{6}{5x}=\frac{1}{4}\\5x=24\\x=4.8

Dorsey takes 4.8 hours alone

Campbell takes 4.8 * 5 = 24 hours alone

Answer:

2.86 hours = £26.57

Step-by-step explanation:

5 builders = 3.5 hours

<u>Express it in ratio form:</u>

5 : 3.5 (B1:H1)

<u><em>However, on Tuesday 2 builders(B2) are available. We can set up a proportion to find the number of hours.</em></u>

<u><em>Since This is an inverse proportion, it will be written like:</em></u>

=> B1:H1 = H2:B2

Where H2 = x(no. of hours)

=> 5 : 3.5 = x : 2

<u><em>Product of means = Product of Extremes</em></u>

=> 5*2 = 3.5x

=> 10 = 3.5 x

Dividing both sides by 3.5

=> x = 2.86 hours

<u><em>Now, On Tuesday:</em></u>

1 hour = £9.3

<u><em>For 2.86 hours,</em></u>

2.86 hours = £9.3 × 2.86

2.86 hours = £26.57

1/4 pound = 8 cans

5 pounds = x cans

Step 2: Find how many can you need to make 1 pound

1/4 pounds = .25 pounds

.25 x 4 = 1 pound 8 x 4 = 32

1 pound = 32 cans

Step 3: Finish Solving

1 pound = 32 cans

5 pounds = x cans

5 pounds = 32 x 5

5 pounds = 160 cans
