Answer:
It will take them roughly 7.27 mintues
Step-by-step explanation:
To find this, model the amount of apples that can collect a minute using m as the minutes.
Isaac = 3m
Juanita = 5m/2
Now we can add them together and solve for when they will have 40 apples.
3m + 5m/2 = 40
5.5m = 40
m = 7.27
Answer:
about 7 minutes (7.27 minutes to be exact)
Step-by-step explanation:
Since they are working as a team, we can combine the two rates to see how many apples they collect together per minute. Isaac collects 3 p/min while Juanita collects 2.5 p/min equaling 5.5 apples p/min. 40 apples divided by 5.5 equals 7.27 minutes.
Hope that helped!!
