Question

Ron, Kent, and Sharon assembled 734 newsletters. Ron could assemble 124 per hour, Sharon 132 per hour, and Kent 118 per hour. One morning the three worked a total of 6 hours. If Ron worked 2 hours, How long did Kent and Sharon work?

Answer 1

Hi there!

So If Ron worked 2 hours he collected a total of 248 newspapers.
Sharon worked one hour collecting 132 newspapers.
Kent worked 3 hours collecting 354 newspapers.
248+132+354=734

Therefore Kent worked 3 hours and Sharon worked 1 hour.

Hope this helps!
