Answer:
Part of work left to finish after two work hours is 7/20
Step-by-step explanation:
Firstly, we need to calculate their joint work rate
That will be;
1/(1/5 + 1/8) = 1/(13/40) = 40/13
This means that they will complete the task in 40/13 hours
1 whole part takes 40/13
x part will take 2 hours
x * 40/13 = 2
40x = 26
x = 26/40
So the part that will be completed in two hours is 26/40
This means that the part left to complete will be:
1 - 26/40 = 14/40 = 7/20
Did they give values for the letters??
Let
x------> amount of pounds of apples
y------> amount of pounds of oranges
z-----> amount of pounds of peaches
we know that
x+y+z=127------> equation 1
x=4z-----> equation 2
y=7+z----> equation 3
substitute equation 2 and equation 3 in equation 1
x+y+z=127----> (4z)+(7+z)+z=127---> 6z=127-7---> 6z=120----> z=20 lb
x=4z---> x=4*20----> x=80 lb
y=7+z----> y=7+20---> y=27 lb
amount of pounds of apples----> 80 lb
amount of pounds of oranges----> 27 lb
amount of pounds of peaches---> 20 lb
