  1. Given : Jamie sorts 3 bins in 2 hours and adam sorts 3 bins in 3 hours.

    To Find : if they work together, how long would it take them to sort 3 bins ?

    Solution :

    → Jamie sorts bins in 2 hour = 3

    → Jamie sorts bins in 1 hour = (3/2) = Efficiency .

    similarly,

    → Adam sorts bins in 3 hour = 3

    → Adam sorts bins in 1 hour = (3/3) = 1 = Efficiency .

    then,

    → Number of beans they sort per hour together = (3/2) + 1 = (5/2) beans .

    therefore,

    → Time taken by them to sort 3 bean = 3 / (5/2) = 3 * (2/5) = (6/5) = 1.2 hours (Ans.)
