Liner equation Melissa and Jane are planting trees Melissa plants 10 tree in 1 hour Jane plants 17 trees in 2 hours enter an equation that can be used to find the number of hours t t takes Melissa and Jane to plant 111 trees together

6 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

What we must do is calculate the speed of each one,

Melissa in one hour plants 10 trees, that is 10/1 is her speed.

Jane in two hours plants 17 trees, that is 17/2 is her speed.

Now, we want to know the time it takes to plant 11 trees, so the sum of the previous speeds is equal to 111 / x

10/1 + 17/2 = 111 / x

18.5 = 111 / x

x = 111 / 18.5

x = 6

Which means that in 6 hours between the two they can plant 111 trees

stew reads at the fastest rate of 265 words per minute.

step-by-step explanation:

it's a given that felicia reads at 260 word per minute and on connie's graph we can see that she reads 200 words per minute. since stew's table tells us that he read 795 in 3 minutes, we can divide 795 by 3 to find out how many words he reads per minute.

795/3 = 265

stew reads 265 words per minute - he reads at the fastest rate since felecia reads at 260 words per minute and connie reads at 200 words per minute.

stew (265) > felecia (260) > connie (200)

the answer is 24
