Grace jumped for 9 minutes and Zoe jumped for 12 minutes

Explanation:

Answer 2

Grace jumped for 9 minutes and Zoe jumped for 12 minutes

Explanation:

Let Grace jumped for x minutes and Zoe jumped for y minutes

Grace jump no. of times in 1 minute = 66

Grace jump no. of times in x minutes = 66x

Zoe jump no. of times in 1 minute = 56

Zoe jump no. of times in x minutes = 56x

We are given that Their jumps today and together they jump 1266 times in the total of 21 minutes

So, x+y=21 ----1

66x+56y=1266 ---2

Substitute the value of x from 1 in 2

66(21-y)+56y=1266

y=12

x+y=21

x+12=21

x=21-12

x=9

Hence Grace jumped for 9 minutes and Zoe jumped for 12 minutes
