Answer:
27 days
Step-by-step explanation:
A alone, rate per day = 1/36
A and B together, rate per day = 1 / 20
Total Workdone for 5 days :
1/ 20 * 5 = 5 / 20 = 1/4
Fraction of work left :
1 - 1/4 = 3/4
3 / 4 * 36 /1
= (3 * 36) / 4
= 108 / 4
= 27 days
Answer:
B 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
This is right
A) x -y =1
B) x * y =1
B) y = 1/x
A) x -(1/x) = 1
Multiplying both sides by "x"
A) x^2 -1 = x
A) x^2 -x -1 = 0
Solving by the quadratic formula
x = 1.618 and
y = .618
Interestingly, the number 1.6180339... is called the "phi ratio" or the "golden ratio".
