Sam can mow a lawn in 40 minutes. Melissa can mow the same lawn in 80 minutes. How long does it take for both Sam and Melissa to mow the lawn if they are working together?

It will take them both 24 minutes to mow the lawn if they are working together.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Sam can mow a lawn in 40 minutes, and Melissa can mow the same lawn in 80 minutes, to determine how long does it take for both Sam and Melissa to mow the lawn if they are working together, the following calculation must be performed:

1/40 + 1/60 = 1 / X

3X + 2X = 120

X = 120/5

X = 24

Thus, it will take them both 24 minutes to mow the lawn if they are working together.

6,250

step-by-step explanation:

to get the area, multiply 360 by 160.(57,600)

to find out how many bags of fertilizer it will take, first figure out how many square feet one bag can hold. divide 1000 by 8(125) to get the unit rate(how many square feet one pound of fertilizer can hold)and multiply it by 50(6250). if i haven't made a mistake, that is the answer.

definitely a. the others have almost all data points on one side of the line.
