Its not about how many newspapers because they deliver thesame amount of newspapers.
This is a working togetherproblem.
Candy's rate (newspaper per minute) 1 70
Tim's rate 1 80
They want to know how long it takes them to work together, soif the time it takes them work together is x, then their ratetogether is 1 x
Their rate together is equal to the sum of their individual rates. Then our final equation is :
1 70 + 1 80 = 1 x
Now solve for x.
