Question

Tadeo Volunteered at the library six times as many hours over the weekend as Dylan. Together they volunteer at a total of 14 hours. How many hours did each person volunteer over the weekend?

Answer 1

Answer:

Tadeo Volunteered for 12 hours while Dylan volunteered for 2 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total number of hours Tadeo volunteered be x

Let the total number of hours Dylan volunteered be y

If together they volunteer at a total of 14 hours, then;

x + y = 14 ...... 1

If Tadeo Volunteered at the library six times as many hours over the weekend as Dylan, then;

x = 6y

Substitute x = 6y into 1;

6y + y = 14

7y = 14

y = 14/7

y = 2

Since x = 6y

x = 6(2)

x = 12

Hence Tadeo Volunteered for 12 hours while Dylan volunteered for 2 hours
