Yumi and Juan pick up litter along the highway at the same rate. Yumi picks up litter for 3 miles and takes two hours longer than Juan, who picks up litter for 2 miles. If it took Juan x hours, how long did it take Yumi

Respuesta :

3/(x+2) = 2/x

multiply both fractions by x(x+2) to cancel out the bottoms

so it becomes 3x = 2x+4

ow subtract 2X from both sides and you get

x = 4

so it took Juan 4 hours

 it took Yumi 2 hours more so 4+2 = 6 hours
