Work it exactly like the other one with Wilda and Karla.

Juan takes 15 hours to do a job ... he does 1/15 of it in an hour.
His father can do it in 6 hours ... he does 1/6 of it in an hour.

Juan works alone for 4.5 hours.  In that time, he does  4.5/15 = 0.3
of the job.  When his father joins him, there's only 0.7 of it to finish.

Working together, they do (1/15 + 1/6) = (2/30 + 5/30) = 7/30 of the job
each hour.

How many times do they have to do  7/30  of the job in order to finish
the  7/10  of it that remains ?  That will be the number of hours they need.

(7/10) / (7/30) = 7/10 x 30/7 = <em>3 hours</em>.

Then they can knock off while it's still daylight, and go for a swim.

3. The backyard of a home is a rectangle 25m by 30m. A garden of uniform width is to be
KiRa [710]

Answer:

Part A

The width of the garden is approximately 3.987 meters

Part B

Please find attached the drawing of the solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A

The given parameters are;

The dimensions of the backyard of the home = 25 m by 30 m

The width of the garden to be built in the yard = Uniform width

The shape of the grass left inside = Rectangular

The area of the grass at the center = The area of the garden

Let 'x' represent the width of the garden, we have;

The length of the rectangular grass area at the center, l = 30 - 2·x

The width of the rectangular area of grass at the center, w = 25 - 2·x

The area of the rectangular backyard, A = 30 m × 25 m = 750 m²

The area of the rectangular backyard, A = (The area of the garden) + (The area of the rectangle of grass inside)

The area of the rectangle of grass, GA = (30 - 2·x)·(25 - 2·x) = The area of the garden

The area of the rectangular backyard, A = 750 = (30 - 2·x)·(25 - 2·x) + (30 - 2·x)·(25 - 2·x)  = 2 × (30 - 2·x)·(25 - 2·x) = 8·x² - 220·x + 1,500

∴ 750 = 8·x² - 220·x + 1,500

8·x² - 220·x + 1,500 - 750 = 0

8·x² - 220·x + 750 = 0

x = (220 ± √(220² - 4 × 8 × 750))/(2 × 8)

x ≈ 23.513, or x = 3.987

When x = 25.513, the width of the rectangle of grass inside, w = 25 - 2 × 23.513 = -22.026, which is not a natural (physically possible)

Therefore, the possible width of the garden, x ≈ 3.987

Part B
