What is the time it takes Sanjay to complete the puzzle? 6 hours
What is the time it takes Felipe to complete the puzzle? 8 hours
We can use the general formula of rate and time to solve this problem. Generally we have,
<em><u>Rate * Time = Work/Job</u></em>
<em>** where Work/Job for this problem is 1 since they are doing 1 work, which is solving a puzzle</em>
- <u>Finding rate of Sanjay:</u>
- <u>Finding rate of Felipe:</u>
Working together, their rate is the sum,
Total Rate = .
Using the general formula again, we can find the time it will take to solve the puzzle when both works together.
hours
Rounding the answer, we have 3.4 hours.

First we are going to find the Area of the pond using the area of a circle formula: 
where
is the area of the circle
is the radius of the circle
We know for our problem that the pond will have a 6-foot radius, so
. Lets replace that value on our area formula:
We know that the <span>cost of installing the pond is $0.62 per square foot, so lets multiply the area we just found by the cost:
Total cost of pund=</span>
dollars
Now, let
be the width the rectangle, so its length will be 
. Remember that the area of a rectangle is width times length, so:
Since the cost of installing ties is $1, the cost of installing ties in our rectangle will be x^2+13x dollars.
<span>Stacy can spend no more than $536 on this project, so we can setup an inequality relating the cost of the pound and the cost of installing ties:

We can conclude that the inequality that can be used to fin the width,, of the patio is
