Draw a tranquil cotton field on a sunny day with two sophisticated cotton-picking machines at work. The machines are of different designs and sizes, indicative of their differing capacities. They are portrayed mid-action, showcasing their efficiency, working harmoniously side by side to pick cotton from fully bloomed plants. Ensure to detail the machinery and the cotton field, however, make sure the image contains no text.

It takes one machine 25 minutes to pick a bale of cotton and another machine 30 minutes to compete the same job. If both machines are used, how long will it take them to pick a bale of cotton?

The rate of machine #1: X/25

The rate of machine #2: X/30
Equation: X/25 + X/30 = 1
* 6X/150 + 5X/150 = 1
* 11X/150 = 1
* 11x = 150
* x = 150/11
* x = 13.63...
* x = 13.64
It takes both machines 13.64 minutes to pick a bale of cotton.

13.64!!!

13.(63) meaning that (63) is repeating forever

13.64 is right

1/25

1/30
1/25 + 1/30 = 11/150
150/11= 13.(63)= 13.64
hope this helps

I agree with sup

I do agreement with sup

guys, its 150/11, it won't be right if it's 13.64 or 13.6

I agree with Bob

Yes
