A Story Problem...

If Kristen(K) spends all day cleaning the house and Cooper(C) and Porter(P) can MESS the house up at a rate of 3 times the speed of Kristen's cleaning - when, exactly, will Kristen EVER have a clean house???

I imagine the equation looks something like this:

CP = 3K

(10 hours/K) x (CP/entire house) = NEVER!!

Love the math equation -- I think you're right. Clean house = never.

Paul says I'm a good surface cleaner, but I'm not good at the deep cleaning stuff. I say it's because I spend all my time picking up what I already picked up and wiping up what I already wiped up at least 4 times. I clean a lot--it just doesn't look like it!
