Julian can collect 25 Brazil nuts in 6 hours. Anna can collect the same number of Brazil nuts in 2/3 of the time. How many Brazil nuts can they collect in 5 hours, working at the same time? Round your answer to the nearest whole number. Hint
Julian's rate is [tex]\frac{25}{6}[/tex] per hour. Anna's rate is: [tex]\frac{25}{6\times\frac{2}{3}}=\frac{25}{4}[/tex] In 5 hours the total picked is: [tex]5(\frac{25}{6}+\frac{25}{4})=5(\frac{100+150}{24})=\frac{5\times 250}{24}=52[/tex] The answer is 52 nuts.
