If the first gardener can finish the job in 6 hours, it means that every hour he completes 1/6 of the job.

By the same logic, the second gardener completes 1/7 of the job per hour.

So, if they work together, they complete

\dfrac{1}{6}+\dfrac{1}{7}=\dfrac{7+6}{42}=\dfrac{13}{42}

of the job per hour.

So, after 42/13 of a hour, they'll complete the job. Since one hour is made of 60 minutes, 42/13 of a hour is

\dfrac{42}{13}\cdot 60 \approx 194

So, it will take them about 194 minutes to finish the job, i.e. about 3 hours and 14 minutes.

nikklg [1K]

Using the graph, it is found that 976 passengers had carry-on luggage that weighed less than 20 lb.

<h3>Graph:</h3>

The graph is not given in this problem, but an internet search indicates that the information it contains is as follows:

  • 120 passengers carry luggage of 4 lb or less.
  • 222 passengers carry luggage between 5 lb and 9 lb.
  • 378 passengers carry luggage between 10 lb and 14 lb.
  • 256 passengers carry luggage between 15 lb and 19 lb.
  • 90 passengers carry luggage between 20 lb and 24 lb.
  • 40 passengers carry luggage between 25 lb or more.

Hence, the number of passengers with luggage below 20 lb is:

120 + 222 + 378 + 256 = 976

976 passengers had carry-on luggage that weighed less than 20 lb.
