GPT 3.5
First, we need to find the combined swiveling rate of Freeman and Eddie.
Freeman's rate: 30 times per minute
Eddie's rate: 36 times per minute
Combined rate: 30 + 36 = 66 times per minute
Now, we can set up an equation to find the total time it will take for them to swivel chairs a total of 792 times:
66 times per minute * x minutes = 792 total swivels
66x = 792
Solving for x:
x = 792 / 66
x = 12
It will take Freeman and Eddie 12 minutes together to swivel chairs a total of 792 times.
Freeman's rate: 30 times per minute
Eddie's rate: 36 times per minute
Combined rate: 30 + 36 = 66 times per minute
Now, we can set up an equation to find the total time it will take for them to swivel chairs a total of 792 times:
66 times per minute * x minutes = 792 total swivels
66x = 792
Solving for x:
x = 792 / 66
x = 12
It will take Freeman and Eddie 12 minutes together to swivel chairs a total of 792 times.
