Jamie and Lin volunteer at the food pantry one Saturday each month, packing boxes of food to deliver to families. Working alone, Jamie can pack 120 boxes in 2 hours. Lin can pack 160 boxes in 4 hours. If they work together, how long will it take them to pack 600 boxes?

120/2=60

160/4=40

60+40=100

100 boxes/1 hour=600 boxes/x
