So first we add the total pounds of harvested crop by the total number of hours:
48/24 which is 2
So 2 pounds of crop is harvested every hour, assuming that the working is constant throughout all four workers.
So:
Employee -
A: 12 pounds
B: 8 pounds
C: 12 pounds
D: 16 pounds
I think this is going to help you understand the concept and hope that the answer is correct. Thanks for understanding.
If you want to solve for w:
w/18= 3
multiply both sides by 18
(w/18)(18)= (3)(18)
18 "cancels out" on the left side
w= 54
CHECK
54/18= 3
3= 3
ANSWER: w= 54
Hope this helps! :)
