Jude can pick up 440 pieces of litter on 3 hours and Rohan can pick up 316 pieces of litter and 2 hours how many pieces of litter can they collect together in one hour round your answer to the nearest whole number

Answer 1

First, let's calculate the rate at which Jude and Rohan can pick up litter per hour.

1. Jude's Rate:

   • Jude collects 440 pieces of litter in 3 hours. \[ \text{Jude's rate} = \frac{440 \text{ pieces}}{3 \text{ hours}} \approx 146.67 \text{ pieces per hour} \]

2. Rohan's Rate:

   • Rohan collects 316 pieces of litter in 2 hours. \[ \text{Rohan's rate} = \frac{316 \text{ pieces}}{2 \text{ hours}} = 158 \text{ pieces per hour} \]

3. Combined Rate:

   • Now, we can find their combined rate by adding their rates together. \[ \text{Combined rate} = \text{Jude's rate} + \text{Rohan's rate} \approx 146.67 + 158 = 304.67 \text{ pieces per hour} \]

4. Rounded to the Nearest Whole Number:

   • Rounding \( 304.67 \) to the nearest whole number gives us \( 305 \).

Thus, together, Jude and Rohan can collect approximately 305 pieces of litter in one hour.
