Problema Solution
suppose you have shelled 6.51b of pecans and you shell pecans at a rate of 1.51b per hour how many more hours will it take you to shell a total of 111b of pecans
Answer provided by our tutors
you have shelled 6.51 lbs of pecans
v = 1.51 lb/hr the rate
t = the hours need to shell a total of 111 lbs of pecans
the already shelled pecans (6.51 lbs) + the pecans shelled in t hours (vt) = the total of 111 lbs of pecans
6.51 + vt = 111
6.51 + 1.51t = 111
by solving we find:
t = 69.2 hr
