Question 171782: I have no idea how to do this problem. Maybe you can help?
Two typists are working on a statistical report. To finish on time, together they need to type at least 30 pages per day. This is the first time typist A has typed material that contains mostly numbers, so she may be expected to type no more than 2/3 as many pages as typist B. What are the acceptable combinations of typing output that the typists might produce in a day?
Write a system of two inequalities that describes this situtation. Answer by Mathtut(3670) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! well lets see if we can come up with something on this
:
Lets call typist A's rate A
and typist B's rate B
:
: --->
:
with these formula's they should keep up with there work load. If you solved these two equations as if they were equal instead of inequalities A=12 and B=18
....so if A falls behind this 12 pages per day pace then B has to pick up the slack. if A only types 8 pages per day then B must type at least 22 pages per day
