On the first day, Maria and Emily make flowers together for 1 hour and 25 minutes. In the time it takes Emily to make 2 paper flowers, Maria makes 3 paper flowers. When they stop for the day, together they have made 45 paper flowers. On the second day, Maria and Emily both start at 1:15 P. M. and make paper flowers together at the same rates as the day before. They both work until there is a total of 100 flowers, including the flowers from the first day. At what time do Maria and Emily stop working on the second day?

    Okay, this is a proportion question. they make 45 flowers every 1 hour and 25 minutes, or 45/85 (85 is equivalent to 1 hour and 25 minutes). and they made 100 flowers at the same rate as the first day. so you need to know how long it took them to make 100 flowers, if they make 45 every 85 minutes. so 45 (flowers) to 85 (minutes) = 100 (flowers) to x (minutes). or 45/85=100/x. so when you work that out, I came to 189 minutes, which is 3 hours and 9 minutes, so they stopped at 4:24. But you could round and get 4:25. Hope I didn't confuse you!
