Question

A reservation clerk worked 11.25 hours one day. She spent twice as much time entering new reservations as she
did verifying old ones and one and a half as much time calling to confirm reservations as verifying old ones. How
much time did she spend entering new reservations?

Answer 1

2 v + v + v/2 = 11.25 h

3.5 v = 11.25 h

7/2 v = 45/4 h

Answer 2

I believe that should be
2 v + v + 3/2 v = 11.25

Answer 3

"half as much time calling to confirm reservations as verifying old ones"

new = 2 v

Answer 4

one and a half as much time calling to confirm reservations as verifying old ones

3/2 v
