Answer:

correct answer: Bob's hose required alone 33 hours and Jim's hose required alone 66 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Bob's hose time = 50% of Jim's hose time ⇒

⇒ Jim's hose time = 2 · Bob's hose time

Let be x  Bob's hose time and  2x Jim's hose time

The following equation will solve the problem:

1/x + 1/ 2x = 1/22  

The common denominator for both fractions is 2x, so we will multiply the first fraction by the number 2 and get:

2/2x + 1/2x = 1/22 ⇒ 3/2x = 1/22 ⇒ x = 3 · 22 / 2 ⇒ x = 3 · 11 = 33 hours

Bob's hose time x = 33 hours and

Jim's hose time 2x = 66 hours

God is with you!!!

Since 25% is 1/4 of 100%, then you do 8/4 and you get 2 and then you do 2 + 8 = 10.
