Solution
A can do a work in = 6 days
∴ A's one day's work = `1/6`
B can do the same work in = 8 dyas
∴ B is one day's work = `1/8`
∴ A ad B's both one day's work
`= 1/6 + 1/8 = (4 + 3)/24 = 7/24`
∴ Both A and B can do the same work in `24/7 = 3 3/7` days

These log boats do not go very far. If the wind is helpful, then travel about 4 km in one hour.
Guess how far you can go in one hour if you walk fast.
Look at the different types of boats.
Some boats have motors and go further into the sea. since they go far out they can catch more fish. These boats travel faster, at a speed of about 20 km in one hour.
How much time will they take to go 85 km?
In one trip the logboat brings about 20 kg of fish. But other types of boats bring a bigger catch as given in the table. The table also shows the speed of each type of boat, which is how far each boat goes in one hour. Look at the table and calculate -
- About how much fish in all will each type of boat bring in seven trips?
| Type of boat | Catch of fish in one trip (in kg) |
Speed of the boat (how far it goes in one hour) |
| Log boat | 20 | 4 km per hour |
| Long tail boat | 600 | 12 km per hour |
| Motorboat | 800 | 20 km per hour |
| Machine boat | 6000 | 22 km per hour |
