# Sewing

Beth's mother can sew 235 pairs of short pants in 6 days while Lourdes can sew 187 pairs in 8 days. How many more pairs of short pants can Beth's mother sew?

Correct result:

x =  15.917

#### Solution:

$d_{1}=235/6=\dfrac{ 235 }{ 6 } \doteq 39.1667 \ \\ d_{2}=186/8=\dfrac{ 93 }{ 4 }=23.25 \ \\ \ \\ x=d_{1}-d_{2}=39.1667-23.25=\dfrac{ 191 }{ 12 }=15.917$
