<h2>Dionne will fold 210 packing boxes in "60 mìnutes" and</h2><h2>Elias will fold 210 packing boxes in "70 mìnutes".</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Dionne can fold 175 packing boxes = 50 mìnute and

Elias can fold 120 packing boxes = 40 minutes

To find, the total time each person to fold 210 packing boxes = ?

∵ Dionne can fold 175 packing boxes = 50 mìnute

∴ In 1 mìnute, Dionne can fold number of packing boxes = $\dfrac{175}{50}$ = 3.5

∴ Dionne can fold 210 packing boxes = $\dfrac{210}{3.5}$ minutes

= 60 minutes

Also,

Elias can fold 120 packing boxes = 40 minutes

∴ In 1 mìnute, Elias can fold number of packing boxes = $\dfrac{120}{40}$ = 3

∴ Elias can fold 210 packing boxes = $\dfrac{210}{3}$ minutes

= 70 minutes

Thus, Dionne will fold 210 packing boxes in "60 mìnutes" and

Elias will fold 210 packing boxes in "70 mìnutes".
