The robots will be taking over 1/3 of the normal work. You have hired four robots. How much of the total work will they each be doing?

Respuesta :

they all as a group will be doing 1/3 of the work.  There are 4 robots.

how much will each individual robot will be doing from the total work?

well, how many times does 4 go into 1/3?

[tex]\bf \cfrac{\quad \frac{1}{3}\quad }{4}\implies \cfrac{\quad \frac{1}{3}\quad }{\frac{4}{1}}\implies \cfrac{1}{3}\cdot \cfrac{1}{4}\implies \cfrac{1}{12}\\\\ -------------------------------\\\\ \stackrel{first~robot}{\cfrac{1}{12}}+\stackrel{second~robot}{\cfrac{1}{12}}+\stackrel{third~robot}{\cfrac{1}{12}}+\stackrel{fourth~robot}{\cfrac{1}{12}}\implies \cfrac{4}{12}\implies \stackrel{\stackrel{total}{work}}{\cfrac{1}{3}}[/tex]
