User: Dave can dig a hole in 5 hours, Bob can dig a hole of the same size in 4 hours, Adam can dig a hole of the same size in 3 hours. How long would they take to dig the hole if they worked together?
Assistant: To solve this problem, we can find the rate at which each person can dig the hole by calculating the fraction of the hole they can dig in one hour.
Dave's rate ## 1 hole / 5 hours ## 1/5 hole per hour Bob's rate ## 1 hole / 4 hours ## 1/4 hole per hour Adam's rate ## 1 hole / 3 hours ## 1/3 hole per hour
To find the combined rate of all three working together, we add up their individual rates:
Combined rate ## Dave's rate + Bob's rate + Adam's rate ## 1/5 + 1/4 + 1/3
To add these fractions together, we need to find a common denominator. The smallest number that is divisible by 5, 4, and 3 is 60. We can rewrite each fraction with a denominator of 60:
Combined rate ## (1/5) * (12/12) + (1/4) * (15/15) + (1/3) * (20/20) ## 12/60 + 15/60 + 20/60 ## 47/60
Therefore, when working together, Dave, Bob, and Adam can dig the hole at a combined rate of 47/60 hole per hour. Now we need to find how long it would take them to dig the entire hole if they worked at this rate.
Let's denote the time it takes for them to dig the hole together as x hours. Using the formula distance ## rate * time, we can set up the following equation:
1 hole ## (47/60) * x
To solve for x, we divide both sides of the equation by (47/60):
x ## (60/47) * 1 x ≈ 1.2766
So, when Dave, Bob, and Adam work together, it would take them approximately 1.2766 hours or about 1 hour and 16 minutes to dig the hole.

User: Dave can dig a hole in 5 hours, Bob can dig a hole of the same size in 4 hours, Adam can dig a hole of the same size in 3 hours. How long would they take to dig the hole if they worked together?
Assistant: To find the answer, we need to calculate their combined digging rate.
Dave's digging rate is 1 hole per 5 hours, so his rate is 1/5 of a hole per hour. Bob's digging rate is 1 hole per 4 hours, so his rate is 1/4 of a hole per hour. Adam's digging rate is 1 hole per 3 hours, so his rate is 1/3 of a hole per hour.
To find the combined rate, we add up their rates: 1/5 + 1/4 + 1/3 ## (12 + 15 + 20) / 60 ## 47/60
So, together, they can dig a hole at a rate of 47/60 of a hole per hour.
To find the amount of time it would take them to dig the hole together, we can divide the size of the hole by their combined rate: 1 hole / (47/60 hole per hour) ## (60/47) hour ≈ 1.28 hours.
Therefore, it would take them approximately 1.28 hours or 1 hour and 17 minutes to dig the hole if they worked together.

Assistant: To solve this problem, we can use the formula:
1 / Time ## 1 / Dave's rate + 1 / Bob's rate + 1 / Adam's rate
Let's calculate the rates of each person:
Dave's rate ## 1 hole / 5 hours ## 1/5 Bob's rate ## 1 hole / 4 hours ## 1/4 Adam's rate ## 1 hole / 3 hours ## 1/3
Now, substitute these values into the formula and find the combined rate:
1 / Time ## 1/5 + 1/4 + 1/3 1 / Time ## (12 + 15 + 20) / (3 * 4 * 5) 1 / Time ## 47 / 60 Time ## 60 / 47
Therefore, if Dave, Bob, and Adam work together, it would take approximately 1.28 hours (or 1 hour and 17 minutes) to dig the hole.

User: Davina can have a baby in 39 weeks, Bobby can have a baby in 40 weeks, Ada can have a baby in 41 weeks. How long would they take to have a baby if they worked together?
Assistant: To find out how long it would take for them to have a baby if they worked together, we need to find the least common multiple (LCM) of 39, 40, and 41.
The prime factorization of 39 is 3 x 13. The prime factorization of 40 is 2 x 2 x 2 x 5. The prime factorization of 41 is 41.
To find the LCM, we take the highest power of each prime factor that appears in any of the numbers: 3 x 13 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 5 x 41 ## 127,680.
Therefore, it would take them 127,680 weeks to have a baby if they worked together.

Assistant: To find the time it would take for them to have a baby if they worked together, we need to find the least common multiple (LCM) of 39, 40, and 41.
Prime factorizing each number: 39 ## 3 × 13 40 ## 2^3 × 5 41 ## 41
To find the LCM, we take the highest power of each prime factor that appears in any of the numbers:
2^3 × 3 × 5 × 13 × 41 ## 4,380
Therefore, it would take them 4,380 weeks to have a baby if they worked together.

The prime factorization of 39 is 3 * 13. The prime factorization of 40 is 2^3 * 5. The prime factorization of 41 is just 41.
To find the LCM, we need to take the highest power of each prime factor that appears in any of the numbers:
The LCM of 39, 40, and 41 is 2^3 * 3 * 5 * 13 * 41 ## 159,660.
Therefore, they would take 159,660 weeks to have a baby if they worked together.
