Question

Working alone, it takes Hannah 13 hours to pick 40 bushels of apples. Bryant can pick the same amount in 9 hours. How long would it take them if they worked together?

Answer 1

t will represent 40 bushels
13x9=117

13t + 19t = 117t
22t = 117t divide 117 by 22 = 5.3

0.3 x 60 = 18

It will take then 5 hrs and 18 minutes to pick 40 bushels
