You can put this solution on YOUR website! Winston bakes 4 pies per hour, and Clyde bakes 6 pies per hour. If Winston bakes alone for one hour, and then Clyde joins him, how many minutes will it take them to bake 32 pies?
.
Let x = hours it takes to bake 32 pies
then
1(4) + x(4 + 6) = 32
4 + x(10) = 32
4 + 10x = 32
10x = 28
x = 2.8 hours
.
Converting to minutes:
x = 2.8(60)
x = (2 + .8)(60)
x = 2(60) + .8(60)
x = 120 + 48
x = 168 minutes
