Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: t = (3/4)h hours.
Therefore, it takes both of them (3/4)h hours to complete the task.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
t1 represent the time taken for the one worker to complete a task.
t2 represent the time taken for the second worker to complete a task
And t represent the time taken for both.
t1 = h
t2 = 3h
Let x represent the task.
x = rate × time
r1,r2 and r are the rates at which first, second and both worker works
x = r1(t1). .....1
x = r2(t2). ....2
x = r(t) ....3
And,
r = r1 + r2. ( Rate of both equals sum of rates of the two)
From eqn 1 and 2
r1 = x/t1 = x/h
r2 = x/t2 = x/3h
r = r1 + r2 = x/h + x/3h = 4x/3h
Substituting r = 4x/3h into equation 3
x= r(t)
x = (4x/3h)t
Making t the subject of formula
t = x/(4x/3h)
t = 1/(4/3h)
t = 3h/4
t = (3/4)h hours.
Therefore, it takes both of them (3/4)h hours to complete the task.
Write down the two numbers, one under the other, with the decimal points lined up.
Add zeros so the numbers have the same length.
Then subtract normally, remembering to put the decimal point in the answer.
