16.  Suppose a giant sieve for screening sand takes one more hour to empty than it does to fill. It takes 20 hours to fill the sieve when material is allowed to pass through.  How long does it take to fill the sieve when material does not pass through?

a)  Let x =time to fill (in)       x+1 is time to empty (out)

b) set up chart

17 working together two sisters can do the yard work at their house in 45 minutes.  When the older girl does it all herself, she can complete the job in 20 minutes LESS time than it takes the younger girl working alone.  How long does it take the older girl to do the yard work?

Let x = time for younger girl alone

set up chart

set up equation  work  rate alone + work rate alone = work rate together

solve equation

answer the question approximately 81 minutes

18.Two people plan to share the driving on a road trip, trip takes less than 8 hours and the distance is at least 360 miles. One person averages 60mph and the other averages 40 mph.

a) let x represent the slower drives number of hours behind the wheel, and y represent the faster driver's hours behind the wheel.

write a system of inequalities:  x + y < 8 ;  40x + 60 y > 360 ; solve these for y and create the graph.
