Jack and his cousin Emma are picking apples in their grandparents' orchard. Jack has filled 11 baskets with apples and is filling them at a rate of 5 baskets per hour. Emma has 8 full baskets and will continue picking at 6 baskets per hour. Once the cousins get to the point where they have filled the same number of baskets, they will carry them to the barn and then eat lunch. How long will that take? How much fruit will they have picked by then?

3 hours

26 baskets each giving a total of 52 baskets

Step-by-step explanation:

Jack has already  filled 11 baskets with apples and is filling them at a rate of 5 baskets per hour. This means that in x hours he would have filled an additional 5x basket to the initial 11 baskets. Therefore the number of baskets that Jack would have filled in x hours can be given by:

11 + 5x

Emma has already  filled 8 baskets with apples and is filling them at a rate of 6 baskets per hour. This means that in x hours he would have filled an additional 6x basket to the initial 11 baskets. Therefore the total number of baskets that Emma would have filled in x hours can be given by:

8 + 6x.

The time it would take Emma and Jack to have completed the same number of baskets can be gotten by using this equation and solving for x:

11 + 5x = 8 + 6x

11 - 8 = 6x - 5x

x = 3 hours.

It would take them 3 hours to fill the same number of baskets.

The number of fruits Jack would have picked in 3 hours = 11 + 5(3) = 26 baskets.

The number of fruits Emma would have picked in 3 hours = 8 + 6(3) = 26 baskets.

Both Emma and Jack would have picked 26 baskets each, giving a total of 52 baskets
