Rational Equations:

A rational equation is an equation containing at least one fraction whose numerator and denominator are polynomials.

According to the given sum,

Time taken by Sarah  = 45 minutes

Time taken by Andy = 75 minutes

Time taken by them when they are working together:

⇒ [tex]\frac{1}{45}[/tex] + [tex]\frac{1}{75}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{t}[/tex]

⇒ [tex]\frac{5 + 3}{225}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{t}[/tex]

⇒ [tex]\frac{8}{225}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{t}[/tex]

⇒ [tex]t = \frac{225}{8}[/tex]

⇒ t = 28 minutes

Hence, we can conclude that While working together, Sarah and Andy will take 28 minutes to complete picking up bushel of apples.
