Some friends spent the afternoon collecting aluminum cans for
recycling. The friends spent a total of 6 hours collecting cans. Hector
collected 86 cans, Jonas collected 89 cans, and Sherrrie collected 113
cans. The friends collected the same amount of cans each hour. How
many cans did the friends
collect each hour?
The friends couldn’t have collected the same amount of cans each hour, if they did they would have ended up with the same amount of cans.
But we can assume these three friends collected cans on one account. Assuming this we can add 86+89+113 And divide it by 6 hours. Doing this we get 48 cans/ hour.
