Three people need to peel 1000 potatoes working together. Stacey starts at 2 PM peeling 20 potatoes per hour. Rob starts at 3 PM peeling 30 potatoes per hour, and James starts at 4 PM peeling 40 potatoes per hour. If they work continuously, at what time will the 1000 potatoes be peeled ?

They would be done by 2 :  18 AM

Step-by-step explanation:

Key Information:

- Stacey starts at 2 PM peeling 20 potatoes per hour

- Rob starts at 3 PM peeling 30 potatoes per hour

- James starts at 4 PM peeling 40 potatoes per hour

At 5pm;

Stacy would have worked for 3 hours and would have peeled ( 3 * 20 = 60 potatoes)

Rob would have worked for 2 hours and would have peeled ( 2 * 30 = 60 potatoes)

James would have worked for an hour and would have peeled ( 1 * 40 = 40 potatoes)

Total number of potatoes peeled at 5pm = 60 + 60 + 40 = 160 potatoes

Potatoes left = 1000 - 160 = 840 potatoes.

The new peeling rate for three of them combined is (20 + 30+ 40 ) = 90 potatoes per hour.

Rate = potatoes left / time;

Time = Potatoes / Rate

Time = 840 / 90 = 9.3 hours = 9 hours 18 minutes

Total time taken = 9 hours 18 minutes + 3 hours = 12 hours 18 minutes

They would be done by 2 :  18 AM

2:20 am

Step-by-step explanation:

Stacey's start time = 2 pm

Rate = 20 per hour

Rob start time = 3pm

Rate = 30 per hour

James start time = 4pm

Rate = 40 per hour

Number of potatoes = 1000

By 4 pm when James started :

(2 * 20) + (1 * 30) = 40 + 30 = 70

Potatoes left at 4pm = 1000 - 70 = 930 potatoes

Number of potatoes peeled per hour staring from 4 pm:

20 + 30 + 40 = 90 potatoes

Time taken to peel 930 potatoes will be :

930 / 90 = 10.333333 hours

(0.33333 * 60) = 19.9998 minutes

10.3333 hours = 10 hours 19.99998 minutes = 10 hours 20 minutes

Hence, from 4pm = 4pm + 10 hours 20 minutes = 2 : 20 a. M

step-by-step explanation:

one of the most important purposes of surface treatment is to alter surface properties according to the requirement of specific applications. for example, hydrophobic coating has been utilized on windshield and eyeglasses. gold atom monolayer on substrate has become a popular surface bioconjugation strategy.
