Chloe can type a story in 6 hours. If Molly helps her, they finish typing the story in 4 hours. Find how long it would take Molly to type the story on her own.

Respuesta :

Fractions are integers or numbers that have a numerator and a denominator.

To solve the above question, we would be applying the use of fractions.

It will take Molly 12 hours to type the story on her own.

Let's represent:

Total hours it will take both of them to type together = T = 4

Total hours Chole can take to type on her own = C = 6

Total hours it will take for Molly to type on her own = M

Our Formula is given as:

1/T = 1/C + 1/M

Hence:

1/4 = 1/6 + 1/M

Subtract 1/6 from both sides

1/M = 1/4 - 1/6

Lowest common denominator (4, 6) = 12

Hence,

1/M = 3 - 2 / 12

1/M = 1/12

Cross Multiply

M x 1 = 12 x 1

M = 12 hours

Therefore, it will take Molly 12 hours to type the story on her own.
