Math problem 3 i need your help to pass 7th grade please?

Sonny needs 40 minutes to assemble a cabinet. Tito needs 20 minutes to assemble the same cabinet. How long will it take them to assemble a cabinet if they work together?



and



A hot air balloon changes its altitude to 2 200 feet in 50 minutes. what is the rate of change in altitude?

1st question: Same as the first answerer said. You need to find how many cabinets they can make in 40 min divided by the amount of cabinets they made. So:

Sonny = 1/40 Tito = 1/20 or 2/40 (add them)

Total = 3 cabinets in 40 minutes so 40/3 = 13.3 min



2nd Question: You need to find the feet which the balloon flies up per minute. So you go

2200/50 = 44 feet per minute or 44f/min

1/40+1/20= 3/40 ( 1 min work)

therefore in 40/3 mins they 'll complete the work ( reciprocal)

2nd ?
work problem!



x/40+x/20=1

(x+2x)/(40)=1

3x/40=1

x=40/3

or

x=13.333333333......mins.

simply divide



2 200/50=44 feet per minute



its like distance problem



d=rt

r=d/t

t=d/t
