Kara starts tying a baby quilt at the local community center. Each quilt takes 200 ties to complete. Ten minutes later Julie joi

Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

a) $K(t)=6\frac{tie}{min}(t)$

b) $J(t)=11\frac{tie}{min}(t)$

c) $T_{f}(t)=K(t+10)+J(t)$ where $T_{f}(t)$ = number ties finished per unit time

d) t≅8.24min

e) K=109tie

J=91tie

f) K≅16.6min

J≅9.09min

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

$Kara_{(K)}=6\frac{tie}{min}\\Julie(J)=11\frac{tie}{min}$

Kara begins ten minutes before julie, so when julie joins kara she has 60 ties

t=10 $k=6\frac{tie}{min}*10min=60tie$

a) $K(t)=6\frac{tie}{min}(t)$

b) $J(t)=11\frac{tie}{min}(t)$

c) $T_{f}(t)=K(t+10)+J(t)$ where $T_{f}(t)$ = number ties finished per unit time

d) if kara already has 60 ties and makes 6 per minute and Julie makes 11 per minute then per minute they makes 17 ties, so one minute per 17 ties for 200 ties ¿how long?. $t=\frac{(200-60)tie*min}{17tie}$ ≅8.24min

e) K=60tie+6tie/min*8.24min=109tie

J=11tie/min*8.24min=91tie

f) K=100tie*min/6tie≅16.6min

J=100tie*min/11tie≅9.09min

Note: the amount of ties were rounded to the nearest decimal
