Problema Solution
It takes Terrell 74 minutes to weed his garden if he does this every 2 weeks, while his wife his wife can get it done in 54 minutes. How long would it take them working together?
Answer provided by our tutors
so if Terrell and his wife both work for 'x' hours, then their combined work is equalized:
74x = 54(1-x)
------------------------
------------------------
x = 0.421875
To convert to Terrell's work into minutes: 0.42185 * 74 = 31.31
so both would work approximately 31 minutes
