    (More than minutes + a minutes) / 2

    Explanation:

    From the two questions, 2 people are involved, Reuben and tony, if it takes Reuben 1 minutes to wash the dishes and mite than a minute to wash by tony. The arithmetic is the addition of both time and divided by the number of people involved.

    I. e (the number of minutes for Reuben + number of minutes by tony) / 2.

    Answer: it will take a fewer minutes less than both the minutes Reuben and Tony will use.

    Explanation:

    If Reuben can do 630 dishes in 105 minutes. Therefore he would wash 630/105 dishes in 1 minute.

    And if Tony can do 630 dishes in 70 minutes. Therefore, he would wash 630/70 dishes in 1 minute.

    That means that if they wash the dishes together, every minute would mean that they would be able to wash (630/105) + (630/70) = 15 dishes in 1 minute.

    Since there are 630 dishes to be washed, they would take together

    630/15=42 minutes
