1. Minti can do a piece of work in 12 days. Minti and Rinki together can finish the work in 8 days. Find: (a) the number of days in which Rinki alone can finish the work.
(b) the work left if Rinki alone works on it for 4 days.

Minti - 12 days

Minti & Rinki - 8 days

Use Formula 3

time= (12 * 8) / (12 -8)

time = 96 / 4

time for Rinki alone = 24 Days

*****************************************************

Rinki alone for 4 days will leave 20 days of work to be done.

Step-by-step explanation:

step-by-step explanation:

always plug in x. in this case, x equals 4.

i'm going to first solve 4(2+3x)

1) 4(2+3(4)) use pemdas to solve.

i'm going to multiply whats in the parenthesis first, so 3 times 4=12.

2)4 (2+12) i'm then going to multiply 4 by both numbers in the parenthesis (because multiplying comes before adding)

4 times 2= 8.   4 times 12= 48

4) (8+48)= 56 (answer)

i'm then going to solve 8+12x and plug in 4 for x.

1) 8 +12(4)

multiplying comes before adding, so i'm gonna multiply 12 and 4.

12 times 4= 48.

2) 8+48=56

both equal the same!
