Working alone, it would take shandra 45 minutes to mow the lawn. to mow the same lawn, also working alone, it would take kelly 1 hour and 15 minutes. if they work together, the girls believe it will take them 1 hour to mow the lawn.
which best describes the reasonableness of their solution?

While working together, they will complete the work in 28.125 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Working alone, it would take Shandra 45 minutes to mow the lawn.

Working alone, it would take Kelly 1 hour and 15 minutes. to mow the lawn. In minutes this becomes minutes.

So, when they are working together, they will complete 1 job.

Lets the time taken by both working together be t

Equation forms:

=>

=>

=>

t = 28.125 minutes

Hence, while working together, they will complete the work in 28.125 minutes which is very less than their estimation.

you forgot the options, but i found them anyways, the correct answer is "john wilson believes that words and actions based on the intellect are superior to those based on emotions".

john wilson is depicted as an extremely intelligent man. the point of the excerpt is to make a sort of distinction between emotional and rational intelligence. he happens to have both attributes, but he clearly favors his intellectual gifts. at the same time, because of his religious background, he's a little bit conflicted with this and it makes him ashamed.

hope this !
