Question

Which equation represents this situation?

Charlie worked 1.5 hours less than Dirk. Together, they worked a total of 25 hours. Dirk worked h hours.

Answer 1

Answer:

Dirk worked = h

Charlie worked = h - 1.5

Together they worked = 25

Equation,

h + h - 1.5 = 25

2h - 1.5 = 25

2h = 25 + 1.5

Answer:

2h = 26.5

h = 26.5/2

h = 13.25

h - 1.5 = 11.75

13.25 + 11.75 = 25
