Question

scott can deliver 10 pizzas per hour and kenneth can deliver 12 per hour how mnay hours will it take them to deliver 110 pixzas

Answer 1

5 hours

Explanation:

Scott's delivery rate = 10 pizzas per hour

Kenneth's delivery rate = 12 pizzas per hour

Combined delivery rate

= Scotts delivery rate + Kenneth's delivery rate

= 10 + 12

= 22 pizza's per hour (take reciprocal to find the rate in "hours per pizza")

= 1/22 hours per pizza

Given that they both deliver 110 pizzas combined, the will take

= 1/22 hours per pizza x 110 pizzas

= (1/22) x 110

= 5 hours
