Trent can deliver his newspapers in 10 minutes. It takes Lois 40 minutes to do the same route. How long would it take them to deliver the newspapers if they worked together

It will take them 8 minutes to work together

Step-by-step explanation:

Trent: 10 minutes = 1/10

Lois: 40 minutes = 1/40

Together: x minutes = 1/x

1/10(10x) + 1/40(10x) = 1/x(10x) --> x + 1/4x = 10 --> 5/4x = 10

10/1 divided by 5/4x = 10 times 4 divided by 5 = 8 minutes

for a it would be 24 children.

for b i don't understand the question. is it saying for each individual person they pick 5 reds to 7 greens or is it the whole group. clarify and i hope this can you.
