PLEASE HELP!!

Answer 1

Answer:

It would take 24 hours for Max to steal all the gifts himself

Step-by-step explanation:

The together rate is the sum of each separate rate.

In this problem:

Together rate: 1/8

Grinch's rate: 1/12

Max: 1/x

So

$\frac{1}{8} = \frac{1}{12} + \frac{1}{x}$

$\frac{1}{8} = \frac{x + 12}{12x}$

$12x = 8(x + 12)$

$12x = 8x + 96$

$4x = 96$

$x = \frac{96}{4}$

$x = 24$

It would take 24 hours for Max to steal all the gifts himself
