ResourcesToday we are going to continue working with rate of work applications. In your previous two assignments, we worked with examples where we knew the work rates for both individual people. These examples required us to solve for their combined rate of work. Today we will look at similar examples that require us to find an individual rate. The setup is the same, it's just that the variable is in a new place. All or our solving techniques are still at play. Consider the notes from Tuesday:
If we revisit the first problem for yesterday's assignment knowing all of the rates at this point, we can see how this work out. Imagine that the original problem told you Ryan could do the job in 5 hours, and together they could do the job in about 2.75 hours. In this situation we need to find Castel's individual rate. The work would look like this.
You can choose either method (examples are below). Remember, the only new thing here is the original setup. The algebra involved in solving is the same as everything you have done for the past two weeks.
