Come up with a question and stream of consciousness reasoning that would justify this answer: (D)
The question is: Ronald and Elan are working on an assignment. Ronald takes 6 hours to type 32 pages on a computer, while Elan takes 5 hours to type 40 pages. How much time will they take, working together on two different computers to type an assignment of 110 pages?
Options:
(A) 3 hours
(B) 6 hours
(C) 4 hours
(D) 8 hours
(E) 10 hours
Stream of consciousness: Number of pages typed by Ronald in one hour = 32/6 = 16/3
Number of pages typed by Elan in one hour = 40/5 = 8
Number of pages typed by both in one hour = ((16/3) + 8) = 40/3
Therefore, time taken by both to type 110 pages = 110 x 3/40 = 8 hours.
