An experienced bank auditor can check a bank's deposits twice as fast as a new auditor.
\n" ); document.write( " Working together it takes the auditors 4 hours to do the job.
\n" ); document.write( "How long would it take the experienced auditor working alone?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let t = time required by the experience auditor working alone
\n" ); document.write( "It says,\"experienced bank auditor can check a bank's deposits twice as fast as a new auditor.\" therefore
\n" ); document.write( "2t = time required by the new auditor
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let the completed job = 1
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "A typical shared work equation
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "\"4%2Ft\" + \"4%2F%282t%29\" = 1
\n" ); document.write( "multiply by 2t, results
\n" ); document.write( "2(4) + 4 = 2t
\n" ); document.write( "8 + 4 = 2t
\n" ); document.write( "12 = 2t
\n" ); document.write( "t = \"12%2F2\"
\n" ); document.write( "t = 6 hrs Experienced guy alone
\n" ); document.write( ";
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Check the solution
\n" ); document.write( "\"4%2F6\" + \"4%2F12\" =
\n" ); document.write( "\"2%2F3\" + \"1%2F3\" = 1; confirms our solution of t = 6
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
