Answer:

  3 15/17 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Sue's rate of completion is ...

  1/6 order per hour

Jim's rate of completion is ...

  1/11 order per hour

Assuming they can appropriately divide the work, their total rate of completion will be ...

  (1/6 + 1/11) = (11+6)/(66) = 17/66 . . . . order per hour

The time for one order is the inverse of that: 1/(17/66) ...

  66/17 hours per order = 3 15/17 hours per order

Working together, it will take Sue and Jim 3 15/17 hours to fill the order.

Why are halves a good choice for benchmark fractions for 1 1/3
Natalka [10]

Answer and explanation:

Benchmark fractions are fractions that are used as references in measuring other fractions. They are easily estimated and so can be used in measuring more "specific" fractions such as 1/5, 7/9, 3/7, 1/3 etc. If I wanted to measure 1 1/3cm for instance using a calibrated ruler, having centimeter measurements, I would first find 1cm on the ruler and then find half of one centimeter. Seeing that half is bigger than 1/3 but close, I could then estimate 1/3 to be somewhere less than 1/2 but a bit close to it
