Delia can finish a job in 8 hours. Daisy can doit in 5 hours.
if delia worked for 3 hours and then daisy was asked to help her finish it,?
how long will daisy have to work with delia to finish the job?
:
let t = time that Daisy worked to finish the job
then
(t+3) = total time worked by Delia
:
Let the finished job = 1
;
+ = 1
Multiply by 40 to clear the denominators, results
5(t+3) + 8t = 40
5t + 15 + 8t = 40
13t = 40 - 15
13t = 25
t = = 1.923 hrs which is 1 hr 55.4 minutes (worked by Daisy to finish the job)
