Dionne can fold 175 packing boxes in 50 mìnutes. Elias can fold 120 packing boxes in 40 minutes. How long will it take each person to fold 210 packing boxes?

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Dionne can fold 175 packing boxes = 50 mìnute and

Elias can fold 120 packing boxes = 40 minutes

To find, the total time each person to fold 210 packing boxes = ?

∵ Dionne can fold 175 packing boxes = 50 mìnute

∴ In 1 mìnute, Dionne can fold number of packing boxes = = 3.5

∴  Dionne can fold 210 packing boxes = minutes

= 60 minutes

Also,

Elias can fold 120 packing boxes = 40 minutes

∴ In 1 mìnute, Elias can fold number of packing boxes = = 3

∴  Elias can fold 210 packing boxes = minutes

= 70 minutes

Thus, Dionne will fold 210 packing boxes in "60 mìnutes" and

Elias will fold 210 packing boxes in "70 mìnutes".

step-by-step explanation:

why? because i noticed a pattern. 60 120. those numbers without the zero, make the 6 times tables leaving your answer to be b since 6 times 4 is 24 and adding a zero making it 240.
