Chalky Chip can dip 4 strawberries per minute in chocolate. Sunny Day can dip 6 strawberries per minute. Chalky starts dipping at 10:00 a. M. Sunny starts 15 minutes later. If they both work continuously, at what time will they finish dipping 500 strawberries together?
11:01 AM
Step-by-step explanation:
Number of strawberries dipped by Chalky Chip in a minute = 4 per minute
Number of strawberries dipped by Sunny Day in a minute = 6 per minute
Time at which Chalky starts dipping = 10 AM
As per question statement, Chalky works alone for 15 minutes.
Number of strawberries dipped by Chalky in this time period = 15 [tex]\times[/tex] 4 = 60
Total number of strawberries to be dipped = 500
Number of strawberries still to be dipped = 500 - 60 = 460
Now, at 10:15 AM, Chalky and Sunny start working together.
Number of strawberries dipped in a minute when they work together = 4 + 6 = 10 per minute
Time taken to dip the remaining 460 strawberries = [tex]\frac{460}{10}[/tex] = 46 minutes
Therefore, at 10:15 AM + 46 = 11:01 AM, a total of 500 strawberries will be dipped.
