Answer 1

Okay. so Denny can deliver 6 papers in 15 minutes. Brendan can deliver 5 papers in 15 minutes. So, together they can deliver 6 + 5 = 11 papers in 15 minutes.

Since we need to know how many they can deliver in an hour, we just multiply our answer by 4 because that's how many 15 minutes are in an hour.

y = 11 x 4 = 44 newspapers
