Question

Eric starts picking strawberries after Jody had already picked 12 pounds. If Eric picks at a rate of 8 pounds
per hour and Jody picks at a rate of 6 pounds per hour, how many whole hours after Eric starts picking will
the total weight of picked strawberries exceed 100 pounds? Explain how you found your answer.

H=8
