Answer:
correct answer: Bob's hose required alone 33 hours and Jim's hose required alone 66 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Bob's hose time = 50% of Jim's hose time ⇒
⇒ Jim's hose time = 2 · Bob's hose time
Let be x Bob's hose time and 2x Jim's hose time
The following equation will solve the problem:
1/x + 1/ 2x = 1/22
The common denominator for both fractions is 2x, so we will multiply the first fraction by the number 2 and get:
2/2x + 1/2x = 1/22 ⇒ 3/2x = 1/22 ⇒ x = 3 · 22 / 2 ⇒ x = 3 · 11 = 33 hours
Bob's hose time x = 33 hours and
Jim's hose time 2x = 66 hours
