Time and Work
Person A can finish 2/5 of work and person B can finish 3/5 of work. If A completed some 1/9 of his work and B completed 5/18 of his work. what fraction of work is not yet completed by both?
Read Solution (Total 8)
-
- [1-(2/45)-(1/6) = 71/90
- 14 years agoHelpfull: Yes(56) No(2)
- the work completed by a = 2/5*1/9=2/45
completed by b =(3/5)*(5/18)=1/6
so thw work to be completed =1-(2/45)-(1/6)=71/90 - 12 years agoHelpfull: Yes(38) No(1)
- 71/90
- 14 years agoHelpfull: Yes(7) No(1)
- total work is 1
A completed 1/9 of 2/5 so ( 1/9)*(2/5)=2/45
B completed 518 of 3/5 so (5/18)(3/5)=1/6
remaining work fraction is 1-(2/45)-(1/6)=71/90 - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(4) No(0)
- 13/45 of work is not yet completed by Person A.
16/45 of work is not yet completed by Person B.
So total of 29/45 of work is not yet completed by both. - 14 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(17)
- 55/90 as 2/5-1/9=13/45
and 3/5-5/18=29/90
29/90+13/45=55/90 - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(1)
- 71/90 of work is still left.
A+B did (2/5)*(1/9)+(3/5)*(5/18) work
hence work left is 1-(19/90) - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(1)
- let w=5 units
then a's efficiency=2
b's efficiency=3
then a's remaining work=(2-2/9)=16/9
b's remaining work=(3-15/18)=39/18 - 6 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
