Answer 1

Answer:

7.27 min

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Isaiah pick 3 apple in one minute.

           Juanita pick 5 apple in two minutes.

           They need to pick 40 apples.

Now, finding number of apple picked by Juanita in one minutes.

As given, Juanita pick 5 apple in two minutes.

⇒ Number of apple picked by Juanita in one minutes= $\frac{5}{2} = 2.5 \ apples$

∴ Total number of apples picked by Isaiah and Juanita in one minute= $3+2.5$

Hence, Total 5.5 apples picked by Isaiah and Juanita in one minute.

Next finding time taken to pick total 40 apples for a pie.

⇒ Time to pick 40 apples= $\frac{40}{5.5} = 7.27 \min$

Hence, 7.27 minutes taken to pick 40 apples.
