At a furniture manufacturer, worker a can assemble a shelving unit in 5 hours. worker b can assemble the same shelving unit in 3 hours. which equation can be used to find t, the time in hours it takes for worker a and worker b to assemble a shelving unit together? rate (shelving units per hour) time (hours) fraction completed worker a one-fifth t worker b one-third t 5 t 3 t = 1 one-fifth t minus one-third t = 1 one-fifth t one-third t = 1 5 t minus 3 5 = 1

Sagot :

If they work together, they need 15/8 hours to assemble one shelving unit.

What does work mean in math?

  • In summary, work is done when a force acts upon an object to cause a displacement.
  • Three quantities must be known in order to calculate the amount of work.
  • Those three quantities are force, displacement and the angle between the force and the displacement.

According to tittle, we know worker A can  assemble a shelving unit in 5 hours , which means worker A can finish 1/5 of work in 1 hour . And worker B can finish 1/3 of work in 1 hour.

If A & B work together , they will spend the same time t to assemble only one shelving .

That means,                  1/5t + 1/3 t = 1                         (equation)

1/5 t is worker A's workload during time t , 1/3 t is worker B workload.

So,   1/5 t + 1/3t = 1  is the answer

     ⇒ 5t + 3t = 15

     ⇒ t = 15/8 hours

If they work together, they need 15/8 hours to assemble one shelving unit.
