Carrie can inspect a case of watches in 5 hours. James can inspect the same case of watches in 3 hours. After working alone for 1 hour, Carrie stops for lunch. After taking a 40 minute lunch break, Carrie and James work together to inspect the remaining watches. How long do Carrie and James work together to complete the job? Will mark brainlist if it correct and well explained

It takes Carrie and James an hour and a half to finish the job.

Step-by-step explanation:

assuming they have to inspect ONE case of watches.

Carrie can inspect 1/5 case in one hour.

James can inspect 1/3 case in one hour.

Carrie worked alone for 1 hour, so she finished 1/5 of a case.

She leaves 4/5 case to finish.

She had lunch.

After that, Carrie and James worked together for x hours to finish the job.

When they work together, the finish 1/5+1/3 = 8/15 case per hour.

So time to finisher the remaining case

Time = 4/5 / (8/15)

= 4/5 * 15/8

= 3/2 hours

= an hour and a half.

2 and 1.

step-by-step explanation:

plug in each answer. 0 doesn't work, 1 does. so does 2. 4 doesn't:

0 = 1 is not true.

2 = 2 is true.

4 = 4 is true.

8 = 16 is not true.

hope this !
