Question

Working as a team it takes Zoe and Haley 24 minutes to defeat the game math attack. working by herself it would take Zoe 36 minutes to beat the game. how long would it take Haley to be at the game by herself?

Answer 1

Answer: 72 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this question, first set up an equation :

`H+Z=24`

Where Haley is H and Zoe is Z.

We know that Zoe takes 36 minutes to beat the game, so we set her amount in fractional value.

`Z=1/36`

Next, we substitute it back into the equation to solve for Haley

`H+1/36=1/24`

`H=1/24-1/36`

`H=3/72-2/72`

`H=1/72`

Using this proportion, we know that Haley takes 72 minutes to beat the game herself.

That's it!
