Question

joe and his friend both work at a toy factory. if joe makes 18 toys per hour ,and his friend makes 24 toys per hour ,how many toys will they have made after 6 hours

Answer 1

18*6 + 24*6 = total toys. You need to separate both toy makers and add their toys to get the total. Off the bat they only give you the rate, but when given a time you can multiply that rate by the time for find the total toys made over that time.
