They wont work together becuase Bob is going for a monopoly and will eventually take Steven out becuase he is competition
well if they wash it together then bob will get some water on steve then steve will for sure spray bob with the water hoes then bob will get mad and splash him with water from the bucket then steve with start punching bob on the bround and bob will rip off steves ears and they will eventually kill each other so the answer must be... INFINITY! because if they r dead they will never finish the job and go to hell for fighting. yes yes i know i am a mathematical genius. i made a 78 in advance algebra. I AM GOOD!!!
6 minutes and 3 seconds, because Bob has a gun and shoots down Steven before he got the chance to start because he didn't want to share the profit, and grabbing the gun and shooting took 3 seconds. I win.
if they both do exactly half the car, bob will be done in 3 and steven in 4, thats 7 minutes total, but if bob helps steven then you'll have to check what steven has washed in the 3 minutes and calculate how much time it takes when they'll both wash the remaining car.. but i'll stick with that there wont be any washing at all, they'll end up bumping their behinds against eachother and enter the sexual expiriment stage.. IN the car.
If this is from a math book it will be a perfect world secnario so lovehurts is right I would post how to the problem but I need to write it on paper I guess Ill post the work later when i have access to a scanner.
Bob = 10 cars washed/h Steven = 7.5 cars washed/h Together = 17.5 cars washed/h So the answer is 3.4 minutes
Well if they both take a half it takes bob 3 minutes to finish his half, and by that time Steven is 3/4 done with his half so there is 1/8 of the car left to wash or 1/4 of Stevens half if you split that up into 2 again then it takes bob 22.5 seconds to finish that and Steven will be 75% finished with his half again wich will leave 9.4% of the car left to clean which from then on it will all be decimal numbers so approximately 3.4 minutes.
Guys this is simple. Person A: = 1c in 6 mins. = 1/6 in 1 minute. Person B: = 1c in 8 minutes. = 1/8 in 1 minute. Person ( A & B ): = 1min (1/6) + (1/8). = 4/24 + 3/24 = 7/24. 24/7 (min) = (7/24 x 24/7) = 1car. = 3 3/7 min. = Square 60min x 3/7. = 26. Final Answer: 3.42 minutes. 100% sure that's right. (I did this on scrap paper and was messy so the above might not be 100% correct on how I did it but the final answer is).
