Erm- can’t answer this. We need the graph
The Type B trees produces 120 pears.
<h3>What is meant by percentage?</h3>
A percentage is a number or ratio expressed as a fraction of 100 in mathematics. The percent sign, "%," is commonly used, but the abbreviations "pct.", "pct," and sometimes "pc" are also used. A percentage is a number with no dimensions; it has no unit of measurement.
<h3>
How many pears did the Type B trees produce?</h3>
- Type A trees produced 20 percent more pears than Type B trees did
- Type A trees produced 144 pears.
Let us consider, Type B produced 100% pears.
So, Type A will produce 120%of B, that is 144
144 = 120/100
B
simplifying the above equation, we get
144
100 = 120B
B = 14400/120
B = 120
The value of B = 120.
Hence, the Type B trees produces 120 pears
Therefore, the correct answer is option B) 120.

Short Answer: 18 minutes
Remark
The answer to this problem is less than the smallest time of the two people working together. that fact lets out C and D (38 minutes and 75 minutes). Now you have to choose 15 minutes and 18 minutes. There's a method. No guessing needed.
Givens
Let the time for Sophie = S
Let the time for Simon = M
Let the job to completion = 1
S = 45 minutes
M = 30 minutes
Step One
Convert minutes to hours.
45 minutes = 45 / 60 = 3/4 hour = 0.75 hour
30 minutes = 30 / 60 = 1/2 hour = 0.50 hour
Step Two
Set up the Equation
The formula is a form of job / hour.
Let the time = t that they both have to work
job = 1 in these problems.
1/S + 1/M = 1/t
1/0.75 + 1/0.5 = 1/t
Solve
1 ÷ 0.75 = 1.33333
1 ÷ 0.5 = 2
1.3333 + 2 = 3.33333
3.3333 = 1 / t Multlply both sides by t
3.3333*t = 1
t = 1 / 3.333333333
t = 0.3 of an hour
1 hour = 60 minutes
0.3 hours = x Cross Multiply
x = 60 * 0.3
x = 18 minutes
Answer working together it took them 18 minutes <<<<<
