Alain and Brenda were each given 50 envelopes to address as part of a charity drive. How much time did it take Alain to address the envelopes he was given?
(1) Alain addressed his envelopes in 1.2 times the amount of time it took Brenda to address her envelopes.
(2) If Alain and Brenda had addressed 50 envelopes together, each working at the same rate as when they worked separately, it would have taken them 1 hour and 50 minutes to address all the envelopes.
