Sure! Here's a word problem about Dylan and Zitkus:
Dylan and Zitkus are organizing a charity bake sale. Dylan can bake 6 pies in 3 hours, while Zitkus can bake 8 pies in 4 hours.
1. If Dylan and Zitkus work together, how many pies can they bake in 5 hours?
To find out how many pies they can bake in 1 hour, we need to find the individual rates of each person. Dylan bakes 6 pies in 3 hours, so Dylan's rate would be 6 pies ÷ 3 hours = 2 pies per hour. Zitkus bakes 8 pies in 4 hours, so Zitkus' rate would be 8 pies ÷ 4 hours = 2 pies per hour as well.
Therefore, if they work together, their combined rate would be 2 pies + 2 pies = 4 pies per hour.
So in 5 hours, they would be able to bake 4 pies/hour × 5 hours = 20 pies.
2. If Dylan and Zitkus want to make 50 pies for the bake sale, how many hours will it take them if they work together?
Using the same combined rate of 4 pies per hour, we can set up a proportion:
4 pies/hour = 50 pies/x hours (where x is the number of hours)
Cross-multiply: 4x = 50
Divide both sides by 4: x = 50 ÷ 4 = 12.5
So it would take Dylan and Zitkus approximately 12.5 hours to bake 50 pies if they work together.
Sure! Here's a word problem about Dylan and Zitkus:
Dylan and Zitkus are both avid collectors of stamps. Dylan has 200 stamps in his collection, while Zitkus has 150 stamps. Every month, they both add new stamps to their collections. Dylan adds 10 stamps per month, and Zitkus adds 5 stamps per month.
Question: After how many months will Zitkus have more stamps in his collection than Dylan?
To solve this word problem, we need to keep track of the number of stamps Dylan and Zitkus have each month until Zitkus surpasses Dylan.
Solution:
1st month: Dylan = 200 + 10 = 210 | Zitkus = 150 + 5 = 155
2nd month: Dylan = 210 + 10 = 220 | Zitkus = 155 + 5 = 160
3rd month: Dylan = 220 + 10 = 230 | Zitkus = 160 + 5 = 165
4th month: Dylan = 230 + 10 = 240 | Zitkus = 165 + 5 = 170
5th month: Dylan = 240 + 10 = 250 | Zitkus = 170 + 5 = 175
After 5 months, Zitkus will have more stamps in his collection than Dylan.
The steps to find the answer are as follows:
1. Determine the initial number of stamps each person has.
2. Find out how many stamps each person adds per month.
3. Keep track of the number of stamps for each person, adding the monthly additions.
4. Compare the number of stamps each person has each month until one person surpasses the other.
5. The number of months it takes for Zitkus to have more stamps than Dylan is the final answer.
Note: In this problem, the monthly additions are fixed. However, in real-life scenarios, these numbers might vary.
