2018 Test A Math · Question 35 of 57

For a presentation, Deion can create 5 slides in 20 minutes, working at a constant rate. Kyra can create 3 slides in 10 minutes, working at her own constant rate. What is the total number of slides the two of them can create in one hour?

Show the answer

Correct answer: C

Set up proportions to figure out how many slides Deion and Kyra can create in 1 hour:

Deion

$frac{5}{20}=frac{x}{60}$

$20x=300$

$x=15$

Deion can create 15 slides in 1 hour.

Kyra

$frac{3}{10}=frac{x}{60}$

$10x=180$

$x=18$

Kyra can create 18 slides in 1 hour.

Add Deion and Kyra to figure out how many slides they can create together in 1 hour:

15 + 18 = 33.
