Nyesha owns a lawn service company. Currently it takes her 50 hours a week to service all of her

customers. To reduce the number of hours a week she needs to work, Nyseha hires Shantese to

help her. While Nyesha was on vacation, Shantese was able to complete all of the work in 60 hours.

If Shantese and Nyesha work together, after Nyesha returns from facation, how long will it take

them to service all their customers?

Sagot :

Fractions are integers that have both a numerator and a denominator. They are represented as;  [tex]\frac{x}{y}[/tex]

Where:

x = Numerator

y = Denominator.

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

It will take both of them  [tex]27\frac{3}{11}[/tex]  hours if they worked together.

From the question,

Nyesha takes 50 hours a week to render services to her customers.

Shantese takes 60 hours a week to do the same amount of work.

Let us represent the number of hours it will take them both to decorate the room working together as "T"

Hence,

1/T = 1/50 + 1/60

Lowest Common Denominator for (50, 60 ) = 300

Hence,

1/T = 6 + 5 / 300

1/T = 11/300

Find the reciprocal of both sides

T = 300/11 hours

T = [tex]27\frac{3}{11}[/tex] hours

Therefore, it will take them both of them [tex]27\frac{3}{11}[/tex] hours in they both work together.
