Answer 1

Hi Aastha;

 

Jake can weave a basket in 5 hours and Drake can weave it in 6 hours

 

Jake does 1/5 of a basket per hour

Drake does 1/6 of a basket per hour

Together they do 1/5 + 1/6 = 6/30+5/30 = 11/30 baskets/hour

 

(22 baskets)/(11/30 baskets/hour) = 22(30/11) = 60 hours

 

Make sense?
