Answer:
1/5
Step-by-step explanation:
Well work can be defined as:
where rate=amount of work that can be done in one unit of time
let a = rate of work A does in a day
let b = rate of work B does in a day
this means that: where work=1 and it just means the entire job has been completed.
Since b can do it alone in 15 days, this means that:
If we divide by 15 here, we get the equation:
We can now use this definition to substitute it into the first equation we made.
Multiply the 10 and 1/15
subtract 2/3 from both sides
Now divide both sides by 10
Now multiply this by 6, since we a represents the amount of work that can be done in a day, we want to find how many parts of the work can be done by a in 6 days
Now divide both the numerator and denominator by 6
Make two equations from the information. Then graph them and see where they intersect. The answer is 62 miles. Plug 62 back into both equations and they should both be the same number.
