I'm doing good, let's break this question down.
11,236

volunteer
Do you know what 35 - x represents here?
11,236
3
[]
student
Well 35 is the amount of time Sarah will use, and x how much faster Sarah can wash the car. Maybe the fractional part of the job that she completes?
11,236

[ { "pii_type": "PERSON", "surrogate": "Sarah", "start": 30, "end": 35 }, { "pii_type": "PERSON", "surrogate": "Sarah", "start": 68, "end": 73 } ]
volunteer
Great! Not exactly, the fractional part of the job, since we are just looking at the denominator, but almost. If Sarah takes 35 minutes, and David is faster than Sarah by x minutes. Then David can do it 35 - x minutes.
11,236

[ { "pii_type": "PERSON", "surrogate": "Sarah", "start": 115, "end": 120 }, { "pii_type": "PERSON", "surrogate": "David", "start": 143, "end": 148 }, { "pii_type": "PERSON", "surrogate": "Sarah", "start": 164, "end": 169 }, { "pii_type": "PERSON", "s...
volunteer
So Sarah can wash a car in 35 minutes, and David can in 35 - x minutes right? If you want any clarification on anything throughout this session please let me know as well!
11,236

[ { "pii_type": "PERSON", "surrogate": "Sarah", "start": 3, "end": 8 }, { "pii_type": "PERSON", "surrogate": "David", "start": 43, "end": 48 } ]
student
Okay, thank you! Could you please expand a bit on how we know that 35-x would represent the amount of time it would take her? It is taking a bit for me to understand, sorry
11,236

[]
volunteer
Say you can bake a cake in 45 minutes right?
11,236
8
[]
volunteer
If I can do it 5 minutes faster, how long will it take me to bake it?
11,236
9
[]
student
40?
11,236
10
[]
volunteer
Exactly! I am 5 minutes faster than you, so you can figure out how long I will take by using the expression 45 - 5
11,236
11
[]
volunteer
Let's say now I don't know how much faster I am, but I am faster than you. It's the same exact thing right?
11,236
12
[]
student
Right!
11,236
13
[]
volunteer
You can figure out how long it takes me by doing 45 - (How much faster I am) Or 45 - x
11,236
14
[]
volunteer
So, here the denominator 35 - x represents how fast David can wash a car
11,236
15
[ { "pii_type": "PERSON", "surrogate": "David", "start": 52, "end": 57 } ]
student
That makes more sense, thank you!
11,236
16
[]
volunteer
Now, If I say it takes me and you 50 minutes to bake a cake, how can you figure out how much of it I did?
11,236
17
[]
student
I think I could start with x+y=50?
11,236
18
[]
volunteer
And what would x and y represent?
11,236
19
[]
student
x could be amount of time it took me, and y could be the amount of time it took you
11,236
20
[]
volunteer
Going back to our cake example, how long did it take you and how long did it take me?
11,236
21
[]
student
I think it took me 45 minutes, and you 40 minutes
11,236
22
[]
volunteer
Wait, I'm sorry, please scrap what I've said, I have explained this very poorly.
11,236
23
[]
volunteer
What do you think y represents here?
11,236
24
[]
volunteer
I had a slight misunderstanding about the problem earlier
11,236
25
[]
student
No worries
11,236
26
[]
volunteer
What do you think y represents here?
11,236
27
[]
student
I think it would relate to the cars, maybe how many they can wash together?
11,236
28
[]
volunteer
Not exactly, when looking at a problem like this, always try to refer to what it's asking you.
11,236
29
[]
volunteer
Here, we know 35 - x is the speed Sarah can wash a car right?
11,236
30
[ { "pii_type": "PERSON", "surrogate": "Sarah", "start": 34, "end": 39 } ]
student
Yes
11,236
31
[]
volunteer
So, we are dividing something by her speed
11,236
32
[]
volunteer
So, let's say y represented the number of cars they washed together
11,236
33
[]
volunteer
We would be doing Numbers of cars / Times it takes for Sarah
11,236
34
[ { "pii_type": "PERSON", "surrogate": "Sarah", "start": 56, "end": 61 } ]
volunteer
Now, that may seem very confusing, so let's plug in some random numbers. Let's say they wash 1 car and Sarah takes 30 minutes to wash one car
11,236
35
[ { "pii_type": "PERSON", "surrogate": "Sarah", "start": 104, "end": 109 } ]
volunteer
So we are trying to divide 1 car by 30 minutes per car wash
11,236
36
[]
volunteer
Which doesn't really solve for anything
11,236
37
[]
volunteer
Essentially, just plug in what you think it's saying, and if it doesn't make sense, it probably isn't right.
11,236
38
[]
volunteer
Something that would make sense is doing something like Let's say I washed 3 cars in 30 minutes. I could say I did 3 cars / 30 minutes Which tells me I can do 3 cars every 30 minutes
11,236
39
[]
volunteer
In this case, I can wash one car every 10 minutes right?
11,236
40
[]
student
Right
11,236
41
[]
volunteer
So the rate at which I wash a car is 10 minutes per car. If I now tried to divide the amount of cars by the rate that I can wash cars, I would be trying to do 3 cars / 10 minutes per car
11,236
42
[]
volunteer
Which, you wouldn't divide by the rate here, you would multiply 3 times 10 instead right?
11,236
43
[]
volunteer
To backtrack the amount of time, you would do 3 X 10 right? Not 3/10 .
11,236
44
[]
student
I think so?
11,236
45
[]
volunteer
This probably is very confusing, but, essentially, it's not the total amount.
11,236
46
[]
volunteer
Just know, because you are dividing by the speed Sarah takes, the top can't the total number of cars
11,236
47
[ { "pii_type": "PERSON", "surrogate": "Sarah", "start": 49, "end": 54 } ]
student
Got it
11,236
48
[]
volunteer
It may not make sense now, but this will just make sense as you do more of these problems. It's much more intuitive than something you can put in words, I'm honestly genuinely sorry I just put you through that
11,236
49
[]
volunteer
Anyways
11,236
50
[]
student
That's okay
11,236
51
[]
volunteer
For a question like this, just think what can I plug into the top of the equation, to actually solve for something.
11,236
52
[]
student
Okay, I will keep that in mind. Thank you.
11,236
53
[]
volunteer
So, if y represented the total amount of time it took them to wash a car, what do you think dividing by the Sarah's speed would do?
11,236
54
[ { "pii_type": "PERSON", "surrogate": "Sarah", "start": 108, "end": 113 } ]
volunteer
To put it in words, I am doing Total time / Sarah's speed
11,236
55
[ { "pii_type": "PERSON", "surrogate": "Sarah", "start": 44, "end": 49 } ]
volunteer
What do you think that would tell us?
11,236
56
[]
student
I'm not too sure, because we already know Sarah's time, I don't think we are multiplying anything by Sarah's time to get the total?
11,236
57
[ { "pii_type": "PERSON", "surrogate": "Sarah", "start": 42, "end": 47 }, { "pii_type": "PERSON", "surrogate": "Sarah", "start": 102, "end": 107 } ]
volunteer
Okay, let's refer back to the situation first, Sarah and David are washing this car together right?
11,236
58
[ { "pii_type": "PERSON", "surrogate": "Sarah", "start": 47, "end": 52 }, { "pii_type": "PERSON", "surrogate": "David", "start": 57, "end": 62 } ]
student
Yes
11,236
59
[]
volunteer
Now, remember, you take 45 minutes to bake a cake and I take 40 minutes to bake a cake.
11,236
60
[]
volunteer
Now let's say we took 20 minutes to bake a single cake
11,236
61
[]
volunteer
If I want to find the proportion of the job that I did I would divide the time it took for us by our speed right?
11,236
62
[]
volunteer
I have a really good way to demonstrate this now.
11,236
63
[]
volunteer
Let's say it takes us some time to bake a cake together right?
11,236
64
[]
student
Right
11,236
65
[]
volunteer
You take 45 minutes
11,236
66
[]
volunteer
I take 40 minutes
11,236
67
[]
volunteer
But altogether, the amounts of the job that we did totaled to ONE cake right?
11,236
68
[]
student
Right
11,236
69
[]
volunteer
So, the fraction of work you did plus the fraction of work I did equaled the one cake
11,236
70
[]
volunteer
But, if I want to figure out what fraction of the work I did or you did, I could take our total time spent together divided by our speed right?
11,236
71
[]
volunteer
Look at the equation I have up
11,236
72
[]
volunteer
The total time we took together divided by my speed
11,236
73
[]
volunteer
Plus the total time it took together divided by the time it takes me
11,236
74
[]
volunteer
Gave us that one cake
11,236
75
[]
volunteer
Basically, the fraction of your work in the job was Total time / How long it takes you to make a cake
11,236
76
[]
volunteer
Does that part make sense?
11,236
77
[]
student
I think so, yes
11,236
78
[]
volunteer
So the fraction of work that you did is t / 45 I can do the same for the fraction of work I did which is t / 40
11,236
79
[]
volunteer
Now the work we put into the job is made us ONE cake right?
11,236
80
[]
student
Yes
11,236
81
[]
volunteer
Now, let's go back, imagine you don't know how much faster I am than you when it comes to making a cake
11,236
82
[]
volunteer
My speed in making a cake could be represented by 45 - x
11,236
83
[]
student
Okay
11,236
84
[]
volunteer
So, now my fraction of work in baking the cake is t / (45 - x)
11,236
85
[]
volunteer
So, in this situation where we are working on together and we know both our speeds, taking the total time it took us to do a job divided by how fast we normally do a job, gives us our fraction of work in the job
11,236
86
[]
student
Okay
11,236
87
[]
student
That makes sense
11,236
88
[]
volunteer
Okay, I'm honestly really sorry for this, this question is purely conceptual, I honestly think it's stupid that they ask a question like this, but I guess I just cannot seem to explain it clearly.
11,236
89
[]
volunteer
Going back to our original problem We are dividing by Sarah's speed right?
11,236
90
[ { "pii_type": "PERSON", "surrogate": "Sarah", "start": 55, "end": 60 } ]
student
Yes, we are. And that's okay, I appreciate you trying your best to explain it
11,236
91
[]
volunteer
So, if we are dividing by Sarah's speed, in a situation where people are working on a job together, it would make sense to have the total time it took altogether as the numerator right?
11,236
92
[ { "pii_type": "PERSON", "surrogate": "Sarah", "start": 26, "end": 31 } ]
student
Yes
11,236
93
[]
volunteer
And dividing this total time together by Sarah's speed will give us Sarah's part in the job
11,236
94
[ { "pii_type": "PERSON", "surrogate": "Sarah", "start": 41, "end": 46 }, { "pii_type": "PERSON", "surrogate": "Sarah", "start": 68, "end": 73 } ]
volunteer
In this situation, how could you represent Sarah's fraction of work in the job?
11,236
95
[ { "pii_type": "PERSON", "surrogate": "Sarah", "start": 43, "end": 48 } ]
student
We could do the total amount, t over 35?
11,236
96
[]
volunteer
Exactly,
11,236
97
[]
volunteer
If we added their fractional amounts of work together, what should we get as well?
11,236
98
[]
student
The total amount of time it takes for 1 car?
11,236
99
[]
volunteer
Not exactly, we were using the total amount of time it took together to figure out how much of the job they did right?
11,236
100
[]
volunteer
By doing t / 35 t / (35-x)
11,236
