Answer: A) 18.2 minutes
B) 4.5 minutes.
Step-by-step explanation:
A) Maxine can mow one lawn in 24 minutes, so the rate of work is:
1/24 of the lawn per minute.
Sammie can mow one lanw in 36 minutes, so the rate of work is:
1/36 of the lawn per minute.
The amount of the lawn that each has left to lawn by the minute x is:
Maxine = 1 -(1/24)*x
Sammie = 1 - (1/36)*x
we want to find the value of x such that:
2*(1 - (1/24)*x) = 1 - *(1/36)*x
which means that the amount that Sammie has left is two times the amount that Maxine has left to mow.
2 - (1/12)*x = 1 - (1/36)*x
2 - 1 = (1/12 - 1/36)*x
1/0.055 = x = 18.2
by the minute 18.2
B) Similar to before, here the rates are:
For Maxine, R = 1/6
For Sammie, R = 1/9
The amount they have left to mow by minute x is:
Maxine = 1 - (1/6)*x
Sammie = 1 - (1/9)*x
We want to solve, similar to before.
2( 1 - (1/6)*x) = 1 - (1/9)*x
2 - (1/3)*x = 1 - (1/9)*x
2 - 1 = (1/3 - 1/9)*x
1 = (2/9)*x
1*9/2 = x = 4.5
So here the solution is 4.5 minutes.
Answer:
`He will never have more grass to maw than Maxine because they do the strips the same size, and their yard is the same size, so they never have more to mow than the other person.
