"Will you solve this Word problem please"
1. A, B, and C can finish a job in 6 days. If B & C work together, the job will take 9 days; if A and C work together, the job will take 8 days. In how many days can each man working alone do the job?
2. A bicyclist and a hiker leave at the same place at the same time and travel in the same direction. The bicyclist travel three times as fast as the hiker. at the end of 3 hr they are 24 miles apart. how fast does the hiker travel.
3. A person travelling 4 hr by plane and 25 hr by ship covers 1580 miles. If the speed of the plane had been one-half of the actual speed and the speed of the ship had been one-fourth greater, the person would have travelled only 1315
miles in the same length of time. Find the speed of the plane and the ship.
Thank you so much.

1. Create a system of equations based on what portion of the job each group can do in 1 day:
A + B + C = [together, they can do of the job per day]
B + C = [together, B and C can do of the job per day]
A + C = [together, A and C can do of the job per day]
Combine the first two equations to eliminate B and C and solve for A:
A + B + C =
-B - C = -
________________________
A =
A alone can do of the job per day so it'll take A = 18 days to do the job alone
Now, plug or into the third equation for A and solve for C:
+ C =
C = - =
C alone can do of the job per day so it'll take C = 14 days to do the job alone
Now, plug 5/72 into the second equation for C and solve for B:
B + =
B = - =
B alone can do of the job per day so it'll take B = 24 days to do the job alone
