For Valentine's Day, Robert and Daniel gave away roses at a park. Robert had 80 roses and gave away 2 roses per minute. Daniel had 120 roses and gave away 4 roses per minute. How long did it take for Robert and Daniel to have the same amount of roses left?

F. 15 minutes
G. 20 minutes
H. 25 minutes
J. Not here

Answer :

In this scenario, Robert and Daniel will have an equal amount of roses after 20 minutes. Hence, the correct option is G.

To determine when Robert and Daniel will have the same amount of roses left, we set up equations for each person's remaining roses over time. Let x be the time in minutes. For Robert: 80 - 2x = the remaining roses. For Daniel: 120 - 4x = the remaining roses. We then equate the two expressions and solve for x, which gives us x = 20 minutes. Therefore, it will take 20 minutes for Robert and Daniel to have the same amount of roses left.
