Washing his dad's car alone, eight-year-old levi takes 2.5 hours. if his dad him, then it takes 1 hour. how long does it take levi's dad to wash the car by himself

Levi's dad takes 1.67 hours to wash the car by himself

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve the problem

- Levi takes 2.5 hours to wash his dad's car alone

- Levi and his dad take 1 hour to wash the dad's car together

∵ Levi takes 2.5 hours to wash the car alone

∴ The rate of Levi is 1/2.5 car/hr

∵ His dad takes x hours to wash the car alone

∴ The rate of his dad is 1/x car/hr

∵ They working together for 1 hour to wash the car

- The equation of the work is rate of Levi × t + rate of his dad × t = 1

∵ t is the time of working together

∵ t = 1 hour

∴

- Multiply both sides by 2.5x to cancel the denominators

∵

∵ 1 × (2.5x) = 2.5x

∴ x + 2.5 = 2.5x

- Subtract x from both sides

∴ 2.5 = 1.5x

- Divide both sides by 1.5

∴ x = 5/3 ≅ 1.67

∵ x is the the time of his dad to wash the car alone

∴ Levi's dad takes 1.67 hours to wash the car by himself

the y will be in still but your answer will be y x 3
