Answer:

18 Minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Simon and sophie each do a fraction of the job per minute like this:

-Simon does \frac{1}{30} per minute (if we multiply this by 30 we have the completed job)

-Sophie does \frac{1}{45} of the job per minute (again if we multiply this by 45 we have the completed job)

We will add this two to know how much of the job they do together in a minute:

\frac{1}{30}+\frac{1}{45}=\frac{1}{18}

They will do \frac{1}{18} of the job per minute.

So the total time will be when they do \frac{18}{18}=1, we can put this in one equation like this:

\frac{1}{18}x=1

where x is the total times we need to do\frac{1}{18} of the job to complete it. We solve for x:

x=18minutes

How does estimating an addition or subtraction problem help you know if an answer is reasonable?
kiruha [24]

Answer:

It helps you know if the answer is reasonable because when you do the work and get your answer, you can check if it is close to your estimate, and if it is, it is most likely correct. On the other hand if it is not close to the estimate it is most likely wrong, unless you estimated incorrectly.
