Question

One little cat can eat a bag of treats in 15 minutes while another cat can eat the same bag of treats in 10 minutes. What part of the bag can they eat together in the given time? 1 minute.

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The first cat eats 1/15 of a bag per minute.

The second cat eats 1/10 of a bag per minute.

Together, they eat 1/15 + 1/10 = 1/6 of a bag in one minute.

Answer 2

Hence both can eat $\frac{2x+3y}{30}$

What is word problem?

when we form equations  out of given statements and then solve them to obtain answer are said word problems.

How to solve?

Given cat x can eat treat = 15 mints

cat x in 1 mint= x/15

given cat y can eat treat = 10 mints

cat y in 1 mint= y/10

hence both cats if eat together =$\frac{x}{15} +\frac{y}{10}$

=$\frac{2x+3y}{30}$

hence both can eat $\frac{2x+3y}{30}$.
