Problem-1:
Find the gas mileage of a dream car or any car of your choice. Let x be the number of miles driven on 60 gallons of gas. By setting up and solving a proportion involving x, find the value of x for the car that you have chosen. State the type of car, the mileage, and show both the set up of the proportion and the steps to solve. Include units with your answer.

Problem-2:
An application of a rational function is T = (AB)/(A+B), which gives the time, T, it takes for two workers to complete a particular task where A & B represent the time it would take for each individual worker to complete the identical task.

Estimate how long it takes you to complete a task of your choice (house cleaning, mowing, etc.) in a given week. Suppose that Jermyn is slower than you at the given task and takes three times as long as you do. If you work together, how long would it take you to complete the task?

Include the type of job, the time it takes you and Jermyn individually to complete the job, and the calculations needed to show how long it would take to complete the job if you worked together. Include units with your answer.
