Help...?

are they union?

(it makes a difference)

what is union?

When the union's inspiration through the workers' blood shall run,
There willl be no power greater anywhere beneath the sun,
For naught on earth is weaker than the feeble strength of one,
But the union makes us strong.

Hey, gunpilot, we're a union shop here.
You want us to do your homework for you, you pay union wages.

i am talking about math .gosh someone asked me are they union so i asked what kind of union meaning is he talking about.

And we're talking about kids doing their own homework rather than trying to con someone else into doing it for them. You learn by doing, not by passing the job onto someone else.

Hire one boy, you get one boy's work. Hire two boys, you get about two boys working. Hire three boys, you get one boy's work. Hire four boys, you get no work at all.

Job rate per hour

Hyunjoo 1/3 jobs per hour
Minkyung 1/2 jobs per hour

Working together their job rate would be the sum of those two rates.

1/2 + 1/3 = 3/6 + 2/6 = 5/6

So to get the time it would take to do one job:

1 ÷ 5/6 = 1/1 x 6/5 = 6/5 = 1 1/5

1 1/5 hours is 1:12

<joining MJack in a rousing chorus ...>

Solidarity forever!
Solidarity forever!
Solidarity for ev-errrr!
For the union makes us strong!

... no offence meant, gunpilot. I just got rather carried away about workers' rights there, for a minute. Anyway, you have your answer now, so no harm done!

Part Of The Union
by Ford/Hudson, (The Strawbs)

Now I'm a union man
Amazed at what I am
I say what I think
That the company stinks
Yes I'm a union man.

When we meet in the local hall
I'll be voting with them all
With a hell of a shout
It's out brothers out
And the rise of the factory's fall.

Oh you don't get me I'm part of the union
You don't get me I'm part of the union
You don't get me I'm part of the union
Till the day I die, till the day I die.

As a union man I'm wise
To the lies of the company spies
And I don't get fooled
By the factory rules
'Cause I always read between the lines.

And I always get my way
If I strike for higher pay
When I show my card
To the Scotland Yard
This what I say.

Oh you don't get me I'm part of the union
You don't get me I'm part of the union
You don't get me I'm part of the union
Till the day I die, till the day I die.

Before the union did appear
My life was half as clear
Now I've got the power
To the working hour
And every other day of the year.

So though I'm a working man
I can ruin the government's plan
Though I'm not too hard
The sight of my card
Makes me some kind of superman.

Oh you don't get me I'm part of the union
You don't get me I'm part of the union
You don't get me I'm part of the union
Till the day I die, till the day I die.

Yee hah, daddio!

Way to go!

I could never figure these tests out in school. I always started to think about real life and could not think about the mathematical problem
If they have to move a lawn they take half each. Hyunjoo moves half in 1 1/2 hour and Minkyung his half in one hour.
Then M. is finished with his half and H. continues to work and gets mad at M. because he does not help him. Because they start argueing it takes longer time.
If they are depended on one another like doing dishes things don´t work out much better.
Hyunjoo washed the dishes, but Minkyung cannot dry them faster than H. washes, so Hyunjoo has to dry and Minkyung wash, but Hyunjoo cannot dry the dishes as fast as Minkyung washes. Again they start arguing.
Or they really do cooperate and want to make more money per hour so they both work slowly.
Why pay two guys to work when you can get one to do it in 2 hours - that must be much cheaper.
Mathematics was never my strong side.

When I used to teach math I found it easier to make the student think of a real job size which would divide by the two work rates.
e.g. Let the job be to mow 6 acres.
So A does 2 acres per hr, B does 3 acres per hr....etc.
Having got the answer you now make the student see that it doesn't matter what job size number you take...you get the same answer....hence you can move to teaching the algebraic method using a job size of x.
