Question

‏It takes Daniel 3 times as long as It takes Jennffer to plant an acre of com. If they decide to work together, write an equation that represents the relationship between th Joint and individual efforts.

Answer 1

Expression of the work when doing jointly- 3/4 x

Individually - Jennffer would take "x" units of time

Daniel would take "3x" unit of time

Explanation:

Let us assume that jennfer takes “x” unit of time

Hence Daniel would take 3 times more times (provided in the question) = “3x”

Efficiency= Mathematically efficiency can be defined as inverse of the time taken to do the work. More is the time taken, less would be the efficiency and vice versa

Please refer to the image attached with for the calculation part

Hence, when doing work jointly, both take ¾ of the time taken by jennfer to do the work

When individually-

Jennfer takes “x” and Daniel “3x” units of time
