Answer:

  210 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Jason's rate of peeling is ...

  (15 potatoes)/(25 minutes) = 15/25 potatoes/minute = 3/5 potatoes/minute

Janette's rate of peeing potatoes is ...

  (8 potatoes)/(6 minutes) = 4/3 potatoes/minute

Their combined rate is ...

  (3/5 +4/3) = (9 +20)/15 = 29/15 . . . . potatotes/minute

Then the time required for 406 potatoes is ...

  (406 potatoes)/(29/15 potatoes/minute) = (406×15/29) minutes

  = 210 minutes

Can someone help me
lyudmila [28]

Answer:

29.3

Step-by-step explanation:

4x+12+5x+3x-4=360

Add the X's up & move the numbers w/out factors (X's) to the 360 side. This will look like 12x=352

Then, you divide each by 12, leaving you with x=29.3

Might be wrong, let me know and I will rework it.
