Answer 6

I think It will take 32 minutes. In 1 minute, they file 21 folders combined. 672/21 equals 32.

Answer 7

wait 10+11/672

Answer 8

then divide by how many ppl are there

Answer 9

rate * time = amount (of work)
if they don't slow each other down, you can add their rates
10 folders/ min + 11 folders /min = 21 folders / min
21 * t= 672
t= 672/21 = 32 minutes
