Hello!
To find this you have to find what 55% of 20 is
You can do this by doing 20 * 0.55
0.55 is 55% as a decimal
This gives us the answer of 11
Hope this helps!
All there is, is a picture. Is there a question?
Let n be the amount of time it takes william to cut the lawn. Then Shelly takes
n-2 hours. So:
1/n+1/n-2=1/3
3(n-2)+3n=n²-2n
6n-6=n²-2n
n²-8n+6=0
Using the quadratic formula, we get a positive value of 7.1623 hrs as the amount of time william takes working alone, and 5.1623 as the amount of time Shelly takes working alone
