Answer:

It will take them roughly 7.27 mintues

Step-by-step explanation:

To find this, model the amount of apples that can collect a minute using m as the minutes.

Isaac = 3m

Juanita = 5m/2

Now we can add them together and solve for when they will have 40 apples.

3m + 5m/2 = 40

5.5m = 40

m = 7.27
