Logan and Sarah work at a dry cleaners ironing shirts. Logan can iron 40 shirts per hour, and Sarah can iron 35 shirts per hour. Logan and Sarah worked a combined 13 hours and ironed 490 shirts. Determine the number of hours Logan worked and the number of hours Sarah worked.

Respuesta :

Logan worked 7 hours and Sarah worked 6 hours. Sarah has to work within the multiples of to for it to be an even number such as 2 4 6 hours which equal 70 140 and 210 which end in 0’s. Guess and check. Sarah 210 shirts = 6 hours. Logan 280 shirts = 7 hours
(I think) Logan worked 7hrs and ironed 280 shirts whilst Sarah worked 6hrs and ironed 210 shirts.
