Two tailors, Valentina and Laura, sit down to do some embroidery. Valentina can embroider 2 shirts per hour, and Laura can get through 3 shirts per hour. In addition, the tailors had previously finished some shirts. Valentina has already completed 15 shirts, and Laura has completed 11 shirts. Valentina and Laura decide to take a break when they have finished the same total number of shirts. How many shirts, in total, will each tailor have finished? How long will that take?

Valentina and Laura finished the same total number of shirts in hours.

Total number of shirts finished by Valentina

Total number of shirts finished by Laura

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose that Valentina and Laura finished the same total number of shirts in hours.

Valentina can embroider 2 shirts per hour and Valentina has already completed 15 shirts.

Total number of shirts finished by Valentina

Laura can get through 3 shirts per hour and Laura has completed 11 shirts.

Total number of shirts finished by Laura

Therefore,

So,

Valentina and Laura finished the same total number of shirts in hours.

Total number of shirts finished by Valentina

Total number of shirts finished by Laura

so a parallelogram is just like a square base times height. multiply 40 and 39 to get 1560 inches.

a triangle is base times height divided by two. so multiply 7.9 and 5 and then divide it by 2 to get 19.75inches.

the kite can be split into two separate triangles and added together to get the total area. 30 x 4 /2 which equals 60. make sure to double it for the two triangles making 120.
