: Robilll can do 2 jobs in 3 days, and Burray can do 5 jobs in 6 days. Robill works for 3 days and then Burray begins to help. How many days will it take to complete a total of 74 jobs? This question is from textbook Advanced mathematics
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Robilll can do 2 jobs in 3 days, and Burray can do 5 jobs in 6 days. Robill works for 3 days and then Burray begins to help. How many days will it take to complete a total of 74 jobs?
---------------------------
Robills rate is (2/3) job/day
Burrays rate is (5/6) job/day
--------------
In 3 days Robill will complete 3(2/3)job/day=2jobs
------------
Working together R and B must complete 74-2 = 72 jobs.
--------------
EQUATION:
If the number of days needed is "x"
(x days)( 2/3 job/day + 5/6 job/day ) = 72 jobs
x(9/6)=72
x=72(6/9)=48 days to complete 72 jobs.
