Question
A and B take 6 hours and 9 hours respectively to complete a work. A works for 1 hour and then B works for two hours.
(i) How much work is done in these 3 hours?
(ii) How much work is still left?
Solution
A takes 6 hours to finish work
and B take 9 hours to finish the same work
∴ A's 1 hour's work = `1/6`
and B's 1 hour's work = `1/9`
and B's 2 hours work =`1/9 xx 2= 2/9`
(i) Now A's 1 hours work + B's 2 hours work
`= 1/6 + 2/9 = (3 + 4)/18 = 7/18`
(ii) Work left = `1 - 7/18 = (18 - 7)/18 = 11/18`

In one trip the logboat brings about 20 kg of fish. But other types of boats bring a bigger catch as given in the table. The table also shows the speed of each type of boat, which is how far each boat goes in one hour. Look at the table and calculate -
