Priya, and Jibran take 1 hour and 10 minutes working together to deliver all newspapers on their route. Priya, when working alone, can finish the delivery route 5 minutes faster than Jibran. How many minutes does it take each person to complete the route if they worked alone

Respuesta :

Answer:

Priya takes 32 minutes and 30 seconds to complete the route and Jibran takes 37 minutes and 30 seconds to complete the route.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that Priya (P) and Jibran (J) take 1 h + 10 min working together:

[tex] P + J = 60min + 10min = 70 min [/tex]    (1)

Also, Priya can finish the delivery 5 minutes faster than Jibran:

[tex] P = J - 5 [/tex]    (2)  

By entering equation (2) into (1) we have:

[tex] (J - 5) + J = 70 min [/tex]

[tex] 2J = 75 min [/tex]

[tex] J = 37.5 min = 37 min + 30 s [/tex]

Hence, Jibran takes 37 minutes and 30 seconds to complete the route.

Now, by entering J into equation (2):

[tex] P = 37 min + 30 s - 5 min = 32 min + 30s [/tex]

Therefore, Priya takes 32 minutes and 30 seconds to complete the route.

I hope it helps you!
