Sally can address a box of envelopes in 30 minutes, which means she works at a rate of 2 boxes per hour. Jim can address a box in 60 minutes, or 1 box per hour. Working together, their combined rate is 2 + 1 = 3 boxes per hour. Therefore, it will take them ( \frac{1}{3} ) of an hour, or 20 minutes, to address one box of envelopes together.

When is Justin Biebers Brother born?

His brother is actually 3 minutes older.


You walked from home to school in 30 minutes your brother takes 40 minutes your brother leaves home 5 minutes before you do If I leave at 7h00 at what time will I overtake him?

To determine when you will overtake your brother, we need to find the time it takes for the difference in your walking speeds to cover the distance between you. Since your brother leaves 5 minutes earlier and walks for 40 minutes, he will have covered 40/5 = 8 minutes of distance by the time you leave. You take 30 minutes to walk the same distance, so you gain 30-8 = 22 minutes on your brother every time you both leave. Therefore, you will overtake your brother 22 minutes after you leave, which would be at 7:22 AM.
