Question

fill in the blanks. suppose that jake and jill have the ability to pick either apples or strawberries. the following table shows how much they can pick in one hour: | | quantity picked in one hour | | --- | --- | --- | | | pounds of apples | pounds of strawberries | | jake | 8 | 4 | | jill | 10 | 10 | 1. if jake and jill each have ten hours available and each person divides the time equally between picking apples and strawberries, then, together, they can pick $square$ pounds of apples and $square$ pounds of strawberries. 2. now if jake spends all ten hours picking apples and jill spends all ten hours picking strawberries, then, together, they can pick $square$ pounds of apples and $square$ pounds of strawberries

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate Jake's apple pick (5hrs)

$8 \times 5 = 40$

Step2: Calculate Jill's apple pick (5hrs)

$10 \times 5 = 50$

Step3: Total apples (Q1)

$40 + 50 = 90$

Step4: Calculate Jake's strawberry pick (5hrs)

$4 \times 5 = 20$

Step5: Calculate Jill's strawberry pick (5hrs)

$10 \times 5 = 50$

Step6: Total strawberries (Q1)

$20 + 50 = 70$

Step7: Jake's full-time apple pick (Q2)

$8 \times 10 = 80$

Step8: Jill's full-time strawberry pick (Q2)

$10 \times 10 = 100$

Answer:

1. Together, they can pick 90 pounds of apples and 70 pounds of strawberries.
2. Together, they can pick 80 pounds of apples and 100 pounds of strawberries.
