Question

Two groups of volunteers are cleaning up the football stadium after the Homecoming game. Volunteers from the Band Booster Club have already cleaned 2 rows of bleachers and will continue to clean at a rate of 7 rows per minute. The leadership class has completed 11 rows and will continue working at 4 rows per minute. Once the two groups get to the point where they have cleaned the same number of rows, they will take a break and decide how to split up the remaining work. How long will that take? How many minutes will each group have cleaned by then?
