Little Bear can eat all the honey in a jar in 10 minutes. If Papa Bear eats honey with him, they can eat all the honey in the jar in 6 minutes. How long would it take Papa Bear to eat the jar of honey alone?
Pls Help

Respuesta :

Answer:

15

Step-by-step explanation:

little bear consumes 1/10 jar/min

in 6 minutes , little bear would consume 6 min * 1/10 jar/min = 6/10 jar = 0.6 jar

this means , that in those same 6 minutes papa bear needs to have eaten the remaining 0.4 jar   also it takes 6 min/0.4 jar = 6*10/4 min/jar = 15 min/jar  

The time taken for Papa Bear to eat the jar of honey alone is 15 minutes.

Based on the information given, the little bear will use 1/10 minutes.

In 6 minutes, the little bear will have eaten 0.6 jars

Therefore, the time taken for the papa bear will be:

= 6 minutes / (1 - 0.6)

= 6/0.4

= 15 minutes

Therefore, the correct option is 15 minutes per jar.
