How fast can Jack mow the lawn by himself?
-
r1 = jill's rate of work [in lawns/minute]
r2 = jack's rate of work [in lawns/minute]
(r1 + r2) * 40 minutes = 1 lawn.
r1 = 2 r2
3 r2 * 40 minutes = 1 lawn
r2 = 1 lawn / 120 minutes
r1 = 1 lawn / 60 minutes
r2 = jack's rate of work [in lawns/minute]
(r1 + r2) * 40 minutes = 1 lawn.
r1 = 2 r2
3 r2 * 40 minutes = 1 lawn
r2 = 1 lawn / 120 minutes
r1 = 1 lawn / 60 minutes
