IN x DAYS Working alone, Dick can paint the house in 10 days. Working alone, Jane can paint the house in 6 days. The fraction of the house that he paints + The fraction of the house that she paints =1 IN x DAYS He paints x /10 of the house and She paints x /6 of the house
IN x DAYS Working alone, Dick can paint the house in 10 days. Working alone, Jane can paint the house in 6 days. The fraction of the house that he paints + The fraction of the house that she paints =1 The equation: x/10 + x/6 = 1 IN x DAYS He paints x /10 of the house and She paints x /6 of the house
The equation: x/10 + x/6 = 1
The equation: x/10 + x/6 = 1 After 3 ¾ days the job is finished.
