Algebra.Com's Answer #466081 by josgarithmetic(39618)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! This question is probably faulty; not because of the variable number of worker and days as part of the rate, but because of ,\"2z work at the same rate...\" .\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The quantity of workers, 2z, will work at a different rate than 5x workers, and at a different rate than just one worker. \r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "I will give a solution, but it may be to a question different than the one you really want.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Rate information given is that 5x workers do this way: \n" ); document.write( "5x workers____________4y days \n" ); document.write( "This means, \n" ); document.write( "1 worker_____________ \n" ); document.write( "Rate of 1 worker is \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now for a group of 2z workers, the rates of all the workers in the team or group are simply additive. This gives us an expected rate for these 2z workers of \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "That rate as is obvious is in car per day; and you wanted the number of days per car, which is the reciprocal, so .... \n" ); document.write( " |
