Question

a biology text editor spent 10.5 hour making telephone calls, writing email, and attending meetings. he spent thrice as much time attending meeting as making telephone calls and 0.5 hour longer writing emails than making telephone calls. how many hour did he spent on each task? ​

Answer 1

telephone calls = 2 hours ; attending meeting = 6 hours ; writing email= 2.5 hours

Explanation:

t + e + m = 10.5

3t = m

e = 0.5 + t

t + 0.5 + t + 3t = 10.5

5t = 10.5 - 0.5

5t = 10

5/5 t = 10/5

t = 2

e = 0.5 + 2

e = 2.5

m = 3 (2)

m = 6
