Answer:

You both together can make 48 desserts in 20 minutes.

Explanation:

It is a proportion.

5 minutes = 12 desserts

20 minutes = x desserts

Now let's form a proportion and find the value of "x"

5/20 = 12/ x

Cross multiplying, we get

5x = 240

Dividing both sides by 5, we get

x = 240/5

x = 48

You together can make 48 desserts in 20 minutes.

Hope this will helpful.

Thank you.
