Answer 1

Answer: 4 Hours

Explanation:

250 + 175 = 425

1700 ÷ 425 = 4

Answer 2

Working together, Maya and Jason can stuff 425 envelopes an hour. To stuff 1,700 envelopes, it will take 4 hours of their combined time. This calculation can be determined by dividing the number of envelopes (1,700) by the combined rate of 425 envelopes per hour.
