Final answer:

Alice and Ricky can write a total of 22 pages together in 60 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is a problem of rate and efficiency in writing pages over time. Alice can write five pages in 30 minutes, and Ricky can write six pages in 30 minutes. Together, they can write ten pages in 15 minutes. To find out how many pages they can write in 60 minutes, we can simply double the amount they can write in 30 minutes since 60 minutes is twice 30 minutes. As Alice can write five pages in 30 minutes, she can write 10 pages in 60 minutes. Similarly, Ricky can write 12 pages in 60 minutes. Adding their individual page counts, Alice and Ricky can write 10 + 12 = 22 pages together in 60 minutes.

Well 10pages=15min and 20pages=30min 30pages=45min 40pages=60 min and so on so I would say about 40 pages in 60 min
Hope that helps.
