can someone please help me out with the below problem
It takes Amy between 6 and 7 minutes to grill a steak, and she can only grill one steak at a time. She does not need to take breaks between steaks. Can Amy finish grilling all the steaks needed for her party before her guests arrive?
(1) Amy needs to grill four steaks for her party.
(2) Amy's guests will arrive in half an hour
I am having trouble on the Both statements TOGETHER are sufficient, but NEITHER one ALONE logic. It says this is incorrect because:
(1) AND (2) SUFFICIENT: Amy will take between 24 and 28 minutes to grill the steaks and her guests will arrive in between 25 and 30 minutes, so we cannot answer the question definitively
** in the problem, it says her guests will arrve in 30min. It dont see where it says they will arrive between 25 and 30min.**
any help would be appreciated. Thanks
