Plow by MLPDC on 07-11-2009
Hello ma'm can I have a little of your time?
Yes, ofcourse. How can I help you?
I would just like to ask if how can you plow a field in 4 days by using a tractor? But a hired hand can plow it in 6 days by using a smaller tractor. If they work together, how long is it ganna take?
Well. Let's see. X is now the number of days required of working together. So, we add the part plowed in one day of each of the tractor. Making the equation 1/4 + 1/6 = 1/x. To cancel the denominator multiply it by its LCD making the equation 3x + 2x = 12. Then solve for x. The answer os 12/5
Unbelievable! Thank you for your time. I was so amazed.
Oh. It was nothing. Just need to remember my college lessons for application in my job.
