Jake can cut and split a cord of firewood in 9 fewer hours than dwight can. when they work together, it takes them 6 hours. how long would it take each of them to do the job alone?

18 hours for Dwight, 9 hours for Jake

Step-by-step explanation:

If J is the time it takes for Jake working alone, and D is the time it takes for Dwight working alone, then:

J = D − 9

Working together, Jake's speed plus Dwight's speed equals 1 cord per 6 hours.

1 / J + 1 / D = 1 / 6

Solve the system of equations by substituting for J:

1 / (D − 9) + 1 / D = 1 / 6

Multiply both sides by D − 9.

1 + (D − 9) / D = (D − 9) / 6

Multiply both sides by D:

D + D − 9 = D (D − 9) / 6

Simplify and solve:

2D − 9 = (D² − 9D) / 6

12D − 54 = D² − 9D

0 = D² − 21D + 54

0 = (D − 3) (D − 18)

D = 3 or 18

Since J = D − 9, D must be greater than 9.  So D = 18 and J = 9.

That means it takes Dwight 18 hours working alone, and it takes Jake 9 hours working alone.

15% chance.

step-by-step explanation:

3/10 times, the 5 year old will get a tablet. 5/10 times, the 13 yer old will get a tablet. multiply both fractions to get 15/100 times, both would have a tablet.

it is 32.5

i hope i could u.
