Answer: Kim can mow the greens alone in 6 hours.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let K be the rate Kim mows the greens, and S the rate for Shayla. The rates K and S will be in greens/hour.
We know they can mow 1 green in 4 hours. We can state this as a sum of their rates times the 4 hours equals one green:
(4 hours)*(K + S) = 1 green
We are told that K = 2S [Kim is twice as fast as Shayla]
Subsititute:
(4 hours)*(K + S) = 1 green
(4 hours)*(2S + S) = 1 green
4*(2S + S) = 1 green
12S = 1 green
Shalya's rate is 1 green/12 hours
Kim is twice as fast: K = 2S
Kim's rate is 1 green/6 hours.
ok so divide 1500 by 250 to determine how many boxes you need to by in 1 year
so that equals 6 then you multiply that by $30 to find the total cost of all the diapers per year so the is $180 per year and then multiply that by 3 to find the cost of all 3 years
So the answer is you will spend $540 in total
6x-21>3
Add 21 to both sides
6x>24
Divide 6 on both sides
X>4
14x+11>-17
Subtract 11 from both sides
14x>-28
Divide 14 on both sides
X<-2
