Question 952785: a farmer has three fields of equal sizes and pays each of his workmen $ 60.00 per day. he paid a total of $ 450.00 to the workmen after each, working alone, plowed one field. these workmen, together, plowed the third field in 1 13/15 days. how many days did it take each man to plow one field alone. I hope you could me on this problem. this problem is on a chapter in our book concerning word problems on simultaneous systems concerning quadratic. Answer by macston(5194) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! $450/2 fields=$225/field ($225/field)/($60/day)=3.75 days/field
-or-
1 field/2men=1 13/15 days; 1/2 field/man in 1 13/15 days; 1 field/man=2 26/15 days=3 11/15 days=3.73 days/field
