Tom and his cousin Alice are picking apples in their grandparents' orchard. Tom has filled 5
baskets with apples and is filling them at a rate of 4 baskets per hour. Alice has 15 full
baskets and will continue picking at 3 baskets per hour. Once the cousins get to the point
where they have filled the same number of baskets, they will carry them to the barn and then
eat lunch. How long will that take?
