Algebra Word Problem?

It takes Rocco 3 times as long as Traci to make 100 Red Cross care packages for refugees. If it takes them 10 hours when they work together to make 100 care packages, how long would it take Rocco working alone to make the same number?

    It takes Rocco 3 times as long as Traci to make 100Red

    Cross care packages for refugees. If it takes them 10 hours

    when they work together to make 100 care packages,

    how long would it take Rocco working alone to make the

    same number?

    Time for Trace alone=x

    Time for Rocco alone=3x

    10/x + 10/3x=1

    30 + 10 = 3x

    40=3x

    so it takes Rocco 40 hours to make 100 care packages
