Question

Malik and Tasha each worked three days in one week at the grocery store. Each day, Malik worked 2 fewer hours than Tasha. They worked a total of 18 hours that week. Find the number of hours that Tasha worked each day.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Firstly, since they worked 18 hours over 3 days, they worked a total of 6 hours each day. Since Malik worked 2 fewer hours than Tasha, we have that Tasha worked (6+2)/2 = 4 hours each day and Malik worked 2 hours each day.
