Question 1199453
<br>
My best comment on this problem is that a student should not be expected to spend any time working on the problem because of the exceedingly bad English used to present the problem.<br>
I can GUESS what the statement "Lynn is twice faster than Farrah" means; but if I am being asked to solve a problem I should not have to guess what the given information means.<br>
The other tutors who have responded all interpret the meaning of that statement to be that Lynn works twice as fast as Farrah -- i.e., can do the job in half the time that Farrah takes.<br>
But one possible interpretation of the terrible English is that it takes Farrah THREE times as long as Lynn to do the job.  That of course would lead to a different answer to the problem.<br>
You could even make the argument that the statement that "Lynn is twice faster than Farrah" has nothing at all to do with how fast THEY DO THE WORK; it might mean that Lynn runs a 100-meter dash in half the time that Farrah does....<br>
