Complete Question

When the two crews start working together, what part of all

the garbage bins will the first garbage truck empty?

The crew of a garbage truck takes 5 hours to empty all the bins in one neighborhood on pickup day. The city assigned a second garbage truck to this neighborhood. During their training, it took the crew from the second truck 8 hours to empty all the bins.

Options

• 0.6

• 0.5

• 0.7

0.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us say that the total hours worked by both trucks = t hours

Number of hours worked by first truck = 5 hours

Number of hours worked by second truck = 8 hours

Let 1 =  total number of bins.

For the 1st truck the rate at which work was carried out is

(1 ) ÷ (5 ) = 1/5

For the 1st truck the rate at which work was carried out is

( 1 ) ÷ (8 ) = 1/8

Then,

(1/5 + 1/8) × t =1

(1/5 + 1/8) × t= 1

(13/40)t = 1

t = 1÷ 13/40

t = 1× 40/13

t = 40/13 hours.

Hence, the total hours worked by both trucks = 40/13 hours

the part of all

the garbage bins that the first garbage truck will empty is calculated as:

1/5 × 40/13 hr

1/5 × 40/13

= 0.6153846154

Approximately = 0.6

Therefore, when the two crews start working together, the part of all

the garbage bins that the first garbage truck will empty is 0.6 of the total work done.
