Answer:
Let D = the weight of one duck d = the weight of one duckling Solve: (3D + 2d = 32)*3 ------> 9D + 6d = 96 (4D + 3d = 44)*2 ------> 8D + 6d = 88 ______________ 1D + 0d = 8 -----> D = 8 Substitute to solve for d: 4D + 3d = 44 4(8) + 3d = 44 32 + 3d = 44 3d = 12 d = 4 Thus, 2D + d = 2(8) + 4 = 20 kgs.
Answer:
Let x = rate of one man = 23 m3/ 1 day = 8m3/day 3x = rate of three men = 3(8m3/day) = 24m3/day Volume to be shoveled = 64m3 Therefore, it would take three men 64m3/(24m3/day) = 2 2/3 days
