Steven and his cousin Rebecca are picking apples in their grandparents' orchard. Steven has filled

5 baskets with apples and is filling them at a rate of 6 baskets per hour. Rebecca has 6 full baskets
and will continue picking at 5 baskets per hour. Once the cousins get to the point where they have
filled the same number of baskets, they will carry them to the barn and then eat lunch. How much
fruit will they have picked by then? How long will that take?

Answer:I say they’d will pick 22 brackets of apples by time they reach nome and they will take 3 hours 40 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:because if u count all the baskets you get 22 course 6+6+5+5=22 and if 6 baskets were filled in 1 hour then 1 hour + 1 hour = 2 hours and then since they only picked five more take away 10 minutes from a hour then same for the other five. After we add the hours and the minutes and we get 3 hours 40 minutes.
