Please explain this. Hello, I'm terrible at word problems, and I was hoping someone could give me the written equation and expla

in why for this word problem. (NOT FULLY WORKED OUT to answer) Here is the problem "Anita can clean a typical pool in 8 hours. Chao can clean a typical pool in 6 hours. How long should it take Anita and Chao working together to clean a typical pool? Show all your work. Leave your final answer as an integer or reduced fraction."
Thanks in advance!

Answer:

$t =\frac{24}{7}\ hours$

Step-by-step explanation:

For these types of problems use the following formula.

$\frac{t}{x}+\frac{t}{z} =1$

Where t is the time it takes them both to clean the entire pool if they work together.

x is the time it takes Anita to clean the pool

z is the time it takes Chao to clean the pool

So:

$\frac{t}{8}+\frac{t}{6} =1$

Now solve the equation for t

$\frac{7}{24}t =1$

$t =\frac{24}{7}\ hours$

Answer:

Anita cleans 1/8 of the pool each hour and Chao cleans 1/5 of the pool each hour.

$\frac{x}{8}$ + $\frac{x}{6}$ = $\frac{7}{24}$

then you take $\frac{1}{(7/4}$ = $\frac{27}{7}$

your answer will be

Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

$r=0.0718$ . The closest value from your given choices is C)r=0.69

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this we are using the standard exponential growth equation:

$f(t)=A(1+r)^t$

where

$f(t)$ is the final population after $t$ years

$A$ is the initial population

$r$ is the growth rate in decimal form

$t$ is the time in years

We know from our problem that the initial population is 5000, the final population is 10000, and the time is 10 years, so $A=5000$ , $f(t)=10000$ , and $t=10$ .

Let's replace the values and solve for $r$ :

$f(t)=A(1+r)^t$

$10000=5000(1+r)^{10}$

Divide both sides by 5000

$\frac{10000}{5000} =(1+r)^{10}$

$2=(1+r)^{10}$

Take root of 10 to both sides

$\sqrt[10]{2} =\sqrt[10]{(1+r)^{10}}$

$\sqrt[10]{2} =1+r$

Subtract 1 from both sides

$\sqrt[10]{2}-1=r$

$r=\sqrt[10]{2}-1$

$r=1.0718-1$

$r=0.0718$

We can conclude that the growth rate of our exponential equation is $r=0.0718$ . The closest value from your given choices is C)r=0.69
