To isolate the variable in a rational equation, multiply each side by the LCD and then solve the resulting equation. Check for extraneous equations.

Task 3:
A restraint has 45 tables. Each table seats 4 people. The manager has 4 employees to prepare the tables. The chart shows how fast each employee works. Use this info to answer the following q's.

Chart: Employee time to fold 4 napkins (min)

Answer 1

Employee, (time to fold 4 napkins), Stacie 3 min, Jeff 4 min, Tiffany 5 min, Nick 3.5 min. Time to set 4 places, Stacie 5 min, Jeff 3 min, Tiffany 2 min, and Nick 4 min.

A.) In order to get the tables ready in the least amount of time, which two employees should the manager ask to fold napkins? which 2 employees should the manager ask to set tables?

B.) If everyone starts working at the same time, how quickly can the employees get the tables ready for dinner? The first pair of employees to finish their job should help the other pair to finish the tables. Explain your answer.

Answer 2

A.) fold napkins would be Stacie and Nick cause they fold the fastest. set tables would be Jeff and Tiffany cause they're the fastest at setting the tables

Answer 3

Okay yeah I got that one just need help with B(=

Answer 4

well since theirs 45 tables and the people setting the tables take 3 min and 2 min to set one table, which would be 5 min to set two tables, try dividing 45 by two and multiplying by 5. Then folding napkins: 45 tables, 3 min and 3.5 min per table = about 7.5 min per table = divide 45 by 2 multiply by 7.5 that will give you the times that it should take for each pair to finish their jobs.
