Question 458590: In four hours Edgar can collect 100 spittle bugs, Gene collects the same amount in 3 1/2 hours. If they work quickly how many they catch 100 bugs. Answer by richwmiller(17219) (Show Source):

Perhaps you want to know how long it would take both working to together to collect 100 bugs.
