Two groups of staff at a store are making flowers to decorate the entrance. if group a were to do it alone, it would take them 10 hours to complete the task. if group b were to do it alone it would take them 15 hours. the groups decided to work together. group b took a break for 1 hour and 40 minutes. group a ended up making 300 more flowers than group b. how many flowers are there altogether?

There are 1500 flowers altogether.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Time taken by Group A to complete the task = 10 hours

Time taken by Group B to complete the task = 15 hours

But Group B took a break for 1 hour and 40 minutes, and Group B ended up making 300 more flowers than Group B. Group A done extra work for 1 hour 40 minutes. i.e.

Let the total number of flowers altogether they made be 'x'.

According to question,

Hence, there are 1500 flowers altogether.

for ex: the reciprocal of 3/4 is 4/3. it is the opposite.

reciprocal definition:
