Question 767945: If Robert can seal 40 envelopes in one minute, and Paul can do the same job in 80 seconds. how many minutes (to the nearest minute) will it take the two of them, working together, to seal 350 envelopes?
A) 4 minutes
B) 5 minutes
C) 6 minutes
D) 7 minutes
E) 8 minutes Answer by RoRo Jaxson(21) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! ok Dude,
so first were gonna find out how many they can do in a second.
Robby here can do .6666666666667 in a minute
and Paul wall can do 1.33333333333333333 in a minute
so were gonna say that rob did 115 and paul did 230 (because paul can do double)
So if we multiplied the seconds we would get around 6 minutes and 5 seconds
so the answer is 7 minutes
YEAUHHHH
