Kyla can plant 300 trees in 1 hour
Mia can plant a single tree in about 13 seconds
if they work together how long would it take them to plant 100 trees

Respuesta :

We have to find out the number of trees planted per unit rate of time.

Kyla can plant 300 trees in 1 hour, so she can plant 300 trees in 3600 seconds. This implies that she can plant

[tex]\dfrac{300}{3600}=\dfrac{1}{12}[/tex]

trees per second.

On the other hand, Mia can plant 1 tree in 13 seconds, so she can plant

[tex]\dfrac{1}{13}[/tex]

trees per second.

Working together they can plant

[tex]\dfrac{1}{12}+\dfrac{1}{13}=\dfrac{25}{156}[/tex]

trees per second, i.e. it takes them 156/25 seconds to plant a tree.

We conclude that they plany 100 trees in

[tex]\dfrac{156}{25}\cdot 100=156\cdot 4=624[/tex]

seconds
