Beet harvest

Beet harvesting is underway in the field. The beets are transported to 3 different processing plants by 3 trucks. One truck manages to return to the field 3 times per hour, the second every 30 minutes, and the third has the shortest route, so it turns around 5 times per hour. All the trucks left for the field at 8 in the morning. How many times in total do the trucks arrive at the field between 9:30 and 11:20?

Final Answer:

n =  17

Step-by-step explanation:

t1=60/3=20 min t2=30 min t3=60/5=12 min  T=(11 60+20)(9 60+30)=110 min  n1=T/t1=110/20=5 n2=T/t2=110/30=3 n3=T/t3=110/12=9  n=n1+n2+n3=5+3+9=17
