Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

Cara plants 5 seeds in 2 minutes.

⇒ Cara plants 5×5 seeds in 2×5 minutes

In 10 minutes Cara plant 25 seeds.

Wade plants 3 times as many seeds in half the time as Cara.

⇒ Wade plants 3×5 seeds in 2/2 minutes

i.e. Wade plants 15 seeds in 1 minute.

In 1×10 minutes Wade plants 15×10 seeds

i.e. In 10 minutes Wade plants 150 seeds.

150+25=175

Hence, they can together plant 175 seeds in 10 minutes.
