Answer: approximately 26.66667  minutes

This converts to 26 minutes, 40 seconds

=================================================

Explanation:

Let's say there are 360 newspapers that need to be delivered.

The two brothers can get the job done in 40 minutes if they work together. Their rate is 360/40 = 9 newspapers per minute.

Richie can do the full job alone in 90 minutes. So his rate would be 360/90 = 4 newspapers per minute. In 30 minutes, he delivers 30*4 = 120 newspapers. This leaves 360 - 120 = 240 left over.

Divide this over the rate of 9 papers per minute to get 240/9 = 26.66667 approximately. It takes about 26.66667 minutes to finish up delivering the 240 remaining newspapers if the brothers work together.

The portion 0.66667 multiplies with 60 to get 0.66667*60 = 40.0002 which rounds to 40 (we have rounding error going on). This means

26.66667 minutes = 26 minutes, 40 seconds

Since the news outlet posted a poll on its website, it would be biased on the fact that it's on the website. Some people don't read the website, or don't have a computer or internet.
