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.
even though freeman is only eight years old and eddie is only 9, they have already landed jobs as product testers at swivel chairs inc. if freeman can swivel a chair 30 times per minute and eddie can swivel a chair 36 times per minute, how many minutes will it take the two of them together to swivel chairs a (combined) totaly of 792 times?
