Sandi can build a model Starship Enterpise in
10 days and Eva can make the same Starship
in 6 days. In how many days can they build
a model Starship by working together?​

Respuesta :

They can build the model Star-ship by working together in 3.75 days

Step-by-step explanation:

The given is:

  • Sandi can build a model Star-ship Enterprise in 10 days
  • Eva can make the same Star-ship in 6 days

We need to find in how many days they can build a model Star-ship

by working together

∵ Sandi can build it in 10 days

∴ The rate of Sandi = [tex]\frac{1}{10}[/tex]

∵ Eva can build it in 6 days

∴ The rate of Eva = [tex]\frac{1}{6}[/tex]

Assume that they can build it together in d days

∵ Work = rate × time

∵ The rate of Sandi is  [tex]\frac{1}{10}[/tex]

∵ The rate of Eva is  [tex]\frac{1}{6}[/tex]

∵ They build it together in d days

∴ Sandi can build  [tex]\frac{1}{10}d[/tex]  of the model

∴ Eva can build  [tex]\frac{1}{6}d[/tex]  of the model

- The sum of their work equal the model

∴ [tex]\frac{1}{10}d+\frac{1}{6}d=1[/tex]

- Add the fractions

∴ [tex]\frac{6}{60}d+\frac{10}{60}d=1[/tex]

∴ [tex]\frac{16}{60}d=1[/tex]

- Multiply both sides by 60

∴ 16 d = 60

- divide both sides by 16

∴ d = 3.75 days

They can build the model Star-ship by working together in 3.75 days
