Respuesta :

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Work = 40 Bushels of Apples

Time of Nicole = 15 Hours

Time of Carlos = 11 Hours

Unknown:

N = Nicole's Rate

C = Carlos' Rate

Equation:

W = r * t

Solution:

First, get Nicole's Rate

40 = N * 15

N = 40 / 15

Second, get Carlos' Rate

40 = C * 11

C = 40/11

Then, get the time

40 = ( N + C ) * t

40 = ( 40/15 + 40/11 ) * t

40 = 208/33 t

40 / (208/33) = t

t = 165 / 26 or 6.3462 Hours

Statement:

Therefore, it would take them approxmately 6.35 hours if they worked together.
