Terrence finished a word search in 3/4 the time it took Frank. Charlotte finished the word search in 2/3 the time it took Terrence. Frank finished the word search in 32minutes. How long did it take Charlotte to finish the word search??
Question
Answer:
Let
x---------------- > Terrence time to finish a word search
y----------------- > Charlotte time to finish a word search
z----------------- > Frank time to finish a word search
we have that
x=(3/4)*z
y=(2/3)*x
z=32
therefore
x=(3/4)*z----------- > (3/4)*32= 24 min-----> Terrence time to finish a word search
y=(2/3)*x------------ > (2/3)*24=16 min-----> Charlotte time to
finish a word search
