Andrew can paint the​ neighbor's house 4 times as fast as Bailey. The year Andrew and Bailey worked​ together, it took them 9 days. how long would it take andrew?
\n" ); document.write( "How long would it take bailey?
\n" ); document.write( "------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Bailey time = 4x days/job ; rate = 1/(4x) job/days
\n" ); document.write( "-------
\n" ); document.write( "Andrew time = x days/job ; rate = 1/x job/days
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "Together time = 9 days/job ; rate = 1/9 job/day
\n" ); document.write( "------
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "rate + rate = together rate
\n" ); document.write( "1/(4x) + 1/x = 1/9
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply thru by 36x to get:
\n" ); document.write( "9 + 36 = 4x
\n" ); document.write( "4x = 45
\n" ); document.write( "x = 45/4
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Ans: Bailey time = 4(45/4) = 45 days
