Answer 1

Answer:

They will work together and print 200 T-shirts in 37.5 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

One machine can print 200 T-shirts in 50 minutes.

So, in one minute that machine can print $\frac{200}{50} = 4$ T-shirts.

Again, the other machine can print 200 T-shirts in 150 minutes.

So, in one minute the other machine can print $\frac{200}{150} = 1.33$ T-shirts.

Therefore, working together for one minute both the machines will print (4 + 1.33) = 5.33 number of T-shirts.

Hence, they will work together and print 200 T-shirts in $\frac{200}{5.33} = 37.5$ minutes. (Answer)
