Answer:
7 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
When Jay and Kevin work together to clear the driveway of snow it takes an average of 14 minutes. If Jay or Kevin works alone to clear the driveway he can clean it in 21 minutes. In total if Jay works alone then he can clean the driveway by spending additional 7 minutes.
City hall to post office = 6 1/2 miles = represented by f
city hall to library site = 1 1/4 miles = represented by d
library site to post office = unknown. = represented by e
City hall to library site PLUS library site to post office IS EQUAL to city hall to post office
d + e = f
1 1/4 + e = 6 1/2
find e.
e = 6 1/2 - 1 1/4
e = 13/2 - 5/4
e = (13*2)/(2*2) - 5/4
e= 26/4 - 5/4
e = (26-5)/4
e = 21/4
e = 5 1/4 distance from library site to post office.
To check:
d + e = f
1 1/4 + e = 6 1/2
1 1/4 + 5 1/4 = 6 1/2
6 2/4 = 6 1/2
6 1/2 = 6 1/2
So first you need to by the chain saw and the chipper for $380. It should only take you about 9 hours to assemble it. And lets say that the 31 hours you were looking for the best of the best chain saw and chipper.
After dividing & simplifying you will get u= 5/3.
