Study Notes
Work and Time Problems
- A can do a piece of work in 6 hours, B and C together can do it in 4 hours, and 2A, B and C together can do it in 2 hours.
- This means that A's rate of work is 1/6 of the work per hour, B and C's combined rate is 1/4 of the work per hour, and 2A, B and C's combined rate is 1/2 of the work per hour.
Comparing Work Rates
- X can do 1/4 of a work in 10 days, Y can do 40% of the work in 4 days, and Z can do 1/13 of the work in 1 day.
- This means X's rate of work is 1/40 of the work per day, Y's rate is 10% of the work per day, and Z's rate is 1/13 of the work per day.
Work Together
- A can do a piece of work in 7 days of 9 hours each, whereas B can do the same work in 6 days of 7 hours each.
- This means A's rate of work is 1/63 of the work per hour, and B's rate is 1/42 of the work per hour.
Importing Wheat
- When 5% of wheat is lost, a country has to import 20 million bags to make up for the loss.
- When 2% of wheat is lost, a country has to import 15 million bags.
- This means the total wheat produced in the country is 400 million bags (because 5% of 400 million is 20 million and 2% of 400 million is 8 million).
