Will give brainliest if right and worth 75 points
the environmental club is holding round two of the clean-up competition. in this round, two-person teams are assigned to areas of land that are scattered with litter. the winner is the team that cleans up its area in the fastest time possible.

team 1: tammy could clean one-half of her area in one hour when she worked alone. her teammate, melissa, could clean one-third of her area in one hour when she worked alone.

team 2: santay could clean one-quarter of his area in an hour when he worked alone. leticia could clean four-fifths of her area in an hour when she worked alone.

find the rate that team one cleaned together

find the rate that team two cleaned together

which team was the fastest

explain how you solved.

Team one = 1/5

Team 2 = 4/21

Team A is the fastest

Step-by-step explanation: Team one = 1/5

Team 2 = 4/21

Team A is the fastest

Step-by-step explanation: TEAM A

Tammy working alone in 1hr can clean 1/2

Melissa working alone in 1 hr  can clean 1/3

working together in 1hr ,let x represent the area they will clean  we have

+ = 1/x

⇒ 3 + 2 = 1/x

5 = 1/x

x = 1/5

TEAM B

Santay working alone can clean  1/4

Leticia working alone in 1 hr can clean 4/5

working together in 1 hr ,let y represent the amount they clean,  we have

+ = 1/y

4 + 5/4 = 1/y

21/4 = 1/y

y = 4 /21

comparing x and y , 1/5 is greater than 4/21 , therefore Team A is faster

points are handed out whenever you post answers.

brainliest answers are handed out by the person asking the question, so whether your answer is picked depends entirely on whether the asker bothers to pick

if you're asking about your rank, it depends on having a certain number of points and a certain number of brainliest answers. for example, at the time of this writing, i have 44338 points out of 15000 needed for the next (nearly triple the requirement! ) but i only have 24 out of 50 required brainliest answers. this number decays, meaning after a certain amount of time (i think about a month), the total number of brainliest answers you've earned doesn't count toward this total. (i've been stuck at the same rank for a long

the lesson to learn here is that you shouldn't worry about points or rank. chances are, no matter how good an answer you may provide, your efforts will go mostly unnoticed unless you focus on the newest/most active questions that get posted.

what is the question? i am guessing you are looking for the area.

to find an area, you have to do length x width.

in this case, it would be 12 ft x 4 ft = 48 sq. ft
