Making 10 chairs would take Marjorie and Blaine<u> </u><u>21 hours and 40 minutes</u>.

<h3>How long does it take to make 10 chairs?</h3>

The total time it takes Marjorie and Blaine to perform their respective tasks in building a chair is multiplied by 10 chairs, respectively. This time is known as their speed.

The resulting figures are summed to get the total time.

<h3>Data and Calculations:</h3>

The total time it takes Marjorie to build a chair is 15 hours (1.5 hours x 10)

The total time it takes Baline to sew cushions per chair is 400 minutes (40 x 10) or 6 hours and 40 minutes.

Therefore, the total time to build 10 chairs is 21 hours, 40 minutes (15 hours + 6 hours and 40 minutes).

Thus, making 10 chairs would take Marjorie and Blaine <u>21 hours and 40 minutes</u>.
