Hi Jane,
Thanks for the reply. I will really appreciate if you can explain me mathematical equation you used to calculate the numbers.
Thanks

Jack and Bob are farmers. Jack grows apples, Bob grows oranges. On May 9th, Jack has harvested 5000 apples, and Bob has harvested 300 oranges. However, Jack will harvest apples at a rate of 5/hr, and Bob will harvest oranges at a rate of 30/hr. If Jack and Bob eventually end up with the exact same number of fruits, Jack agreed to eat 100 apples, and both will stop harvesting. If Jack and Bob never end up with the exact same number of fruits, both will stop harvesting on the hour that Bob has more fruit than Jack.
What is the mathematical equation used to solve this problem?
Will Jack have to eat 100 apples?
How many apples does Jack have at the end? How many oranges does Bob have at the end?
