Mr. reyes can dig a ditch in 6 days and mr. Cruz in 8 days. In how many days can both men dig the ditch together?
Answer provided by our tutors
Mr. Reys will dig 1/6 of the ditch in 1 day
Mr. Cruz will dig 1/8 of the ditch in 1 day
If they need 'x' days to finish the job working together then we can write:
x/6 + x/8 = 1
By solving the equation we get
x = 4 days
They need 4 days to finish the job together.
Mr. Reys will dig 1/6 of the ditch in 1 day
Mr. Cruz will dig 1/8 of the ditch in 1 day
If they need 'x' days to finish the job working together then we can write:
x/6 + x/8 = 1
By solving the equation we get
x = 24/7 days = 3.42 days approximately
They need 3.42 days approximately to finish the job together.
