A truck can be rented from Company A form $130 a day plus $0.30 per mile. Company B charges $50 a day plus $0.80 per mile to rent the same truck. Find the number of miles in a day at which the rental costs for Company A and Company B are the same.

160 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Company A form $130 a day plus $0.30 per mile

Company A = 130 + 0.30x

Company B charges $50 a day plus $0.80 per mile

Company B = 50 + 0.80x

Where,

x = number of miles

Equate the cost of company A and company B

130 + 0.30x = 50 + 0.80x

Collect like terms

130 - 50 = 0.80x - 0.30x

80 = 0.50x

Divide both sides by 0.50x

x = 80 / 0.50

= 160

x = 160 miles

The number of miles in a day at which the rental costs for Company A and Company B are the same is 160 miles

4/6 = 2/3

so it should take 3/3 hours per man. so 9 hours is the answer 3*3 =9

step-by-step explanation:

i'm pretty sure it would take 20 hours because it's half the men so you multiply the number of hours it takes by 2
