Mail-order pharmacies typically use machines to count pills and dispense them into bottles, particularly pills that are prescribed on a regular basis by physicians, such as blood pressure medicine, cholesterol medicine, and diabetes medicine. suppose a pharmacy has two pill counters that work in tandem (together). the batch of blood pressure pills in 1 hour, and the second counter can finish the same batch in 40 minutes. how many minutes should it take to finish a typical batch if both pill counters work together?

a) 18
b) 24
c) 36
d) 50

B. 24

Step-by-step explanation:

it takes 60 minutes for one and 40 for another. since you don't know the time. the denominator is going to be x. The equation to solve this problem will be x/60 + x/40 = 1. Since you're adding, you want to have the same denominator. ( i chose to do 120) this will change the problem to 2x/120 + 3x/120 = 1. which will simplify to 5x/120=1. Multiply each side by 120 to get 5x=120 and divide each side by 5 to get x=24.

step-by-step explanation:

30 miles

step-by-step explanation:

we know that 60 seconds equals 1 minute and 60 minutes 1 hour

44 ft       60 sec     60 min     158400   ft

  *   *   =

1 sec       1 min       1 hour         hour

we know that there are 5280 ft per mile

158400   ft       1 mile         30 miles

  *   =

1   hour               5280 ft     1 hour

so in 1 hour   it can travel 30 miles
