a worker A finishes a project on his own in 12 days. the worker completes the same work alone in 16 days. the two workers started working together, but after 3 days A leaves and B. continues on his own. How many days will B need to finish the rest of the work?

Worker B needs 9 days to finish the rest of the work

Step-by-step explanation:

Proportions

Worker A finishes a project on his own in 12 days and worker B does the same in 16 days.

Worker A does 1/12 of the project in one day and worker B does 1/16 of the project in one day. When working together, they do

After 3 days they have completed:

parts of the project, this means it still remains:

parts of the project and it is done by B alone. Since B does per day, he now takes

days to complete the project.

Worker B needs 9 days to finish the rest of the work

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet

step-by-step explanation:

let's assume length of parallelogram is 'l'

width of parallelogram is 'w'

the perimeter of a parallelogram must be no less than 40 feet

so, we get

we are given

length of parallelogram is 6 feet

so,

l=6

we can plug it

now, we can solve for w

subtract both sides by 12

divide both sides by 2

and we get

so,

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet
