After 4 interval of six months, Joe to earn same hourly rate as Blaine
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given that,
Amount earned by Joe = $ 14 per hour
Amount earned by Blaine = $ 18 per hour
Lets assume the number of six month intervals be "x"
<em><u>Joe receives a raise of $1.75 every six months</u></em>
Therefore,
Joe earning: 14 + 1.75(number of six month intervals)
Equation for Joe earning: 14 + 1.75x ------- eqn 1
<em><u>Blaine receives a raise of $0.75 every six months</u></em>
Therefore,
Blaine earning: 18 + 0.75(number of six month intervals)
Equation for Blaine earning: 18 + 0.75x ------------ eqn 2
The number of six-month intervals it will take Joe to earn the same hourly rate as Blaine,
Eqn 1 must be equal to eqn 2
Thus after 4 interval of six months, Joe to earn same hourly rate as Blaine.
Answer:
Pipe 1 alone fills a tank in 10 min
Pipe 2 alone fills the tank in 20 min
If both are turned on together, how long will it take to fill the tank???
Pipe 1 fills at the RATE of 1/10th tank per min
Pipe 2 fills at the RATE of 1/20th tank per min
Pipe 1 + Pipe 2 fills at the rate of 1/10+1/20 or 3/20th tank per min
Let x= time to fill the tank
(3/20)(x)=1 Where 1 denotes a full tank (Multiply both sides by 20)
3x=20
x=6 2/3 min----------both working together
NOW YOUR PROBLEM
Let x= amount of time for smaller pipe to fill the tank
Then (x-5)=amount of time for larger pipe to fill the tank
NOW HERE'S WHERE THE RECIPROCAL COMES IN:
The smaller pipe fills the tank at the RATE of 1/x cu units per min
The larger tank fills the tank at the RATE of 1/(x-5) cu units per min
Together, they fill the tank at the rate of 1/x+(1/(x-5)) cu units per min
But now we are told that together the fill the tank in 11 1/9 minutes. so our equation to solve is:
(1/x+(1/(x-5))(11 1/9)=1 where 1 denotes a full tank. In fact, in each of the above reciprocals, the 1 denotes a full tank.
So, dividing both sides by 11 1/9, we get:
1/x+(1/(x-5)=1/(11 1/9)-------------- which is your equation
I assume that you have no problems solviing this eq.
