Meso can type 15 pages in 5 minutes. Tyler can type the same 15 pages in 3 minutes. How many minutes would it take Meso and Tyler to type 40 pages working together?
Use reasoning to answer the following question.
5
Meso types 15 pages / 5 minutes = 3 page per minute.

Tyler types 15 pages / 3 minutes = 5 pages per minute.

Together they can type 3 + 5 = 8 pages per minute.

Working together, it would take them 40 pages / 8 pages per minute = 5 minutes.
