(round to nearest tenth) ------------------- Molly takes m minutes to dig the hole alone. Holly takes h minutes... "It takes Molly 5 minutes longer to dig a hole that it takes Holly" --> m = h+5 ------ Molly digs the hole in m minutes, so each minute she digs 1/m of the hole Holly digs 1/h of the hole. Together, they dig 1/m + 1/h of the hole, and it takes them 6 minutes. --> 1/m + 1/h = 1/6 ---------------------- Now it's not a "word problem." 1/m + 1/h = 1/6 m = h+5 --------- 1/m + 1/h = 1/6 Multiply thru by 6mh to eliminate the fractions. 6h + 6m = h*m Sub for m in the 1st equation 6h + 6(h+5) = h*(h+5) 6h + 6h+30 = h^2 + 5h (h - 10)*(h + 3) = 0 h = -3 Ignore, they can't do it in -3 minutes. h = 10 minutes Holly's time alone --------- m = h+5 = 15 minutes Molly's time alone. ======================= That's a complex problem, don't feel bad about needing help. =============================================== 2) Willie paddled 12 miles up the creek and then paddled 12 miles back. If the speed of the current was 3mph and the total trip took 4 hours, what was Willie's speed? ---------- w = Willie's paddling speed c = speed of current = 3 mi/hr Upstream, he moved at (w-c) mi/hr Downstream, it's (w+c) mi/hr ---------- d = r*t t = d/r t = 12/(w-3) + 12/(w+3) = 4 12/(w-3) + 12/(w+3) = 4 Can you finish that?
