Me and mrs corrino can complete a job in 5 hours if mr corrino works twice as long as mrs corrino if each foes the job alone how long does it take mrs corrubi to complete the job alone

Sagot :

Mrs. Corrubi takes 7.5 hours to complete the job alone.

Directly proportional: as one amount increases, another amount increases at the same rate. Direct variation means when one quantity changes, the other quantity also changes in direct proportion

Inversely Proportional: when one value decreases at the same rate that the other increases. An increase in the quantity A leads to a decrease in quantity B and vice versa.

Let the number of hours taken by Mrs Corrubi to do a particular work be x.

∴ The number of hours taken by Mr Corrubi to do a particular work will be 2x.

So according to the condition,

1/x + 1/2x = 1/5

(2+1)/2x = 1/5

3/2x = 1/5

2x = 15

x = 7.5 hours.

Thus Mrs. Corrubi takes 7.5 hours to complete the job alone.
