Takes Mary 3 Hours To Paint The House And Joe 10 Hours How Long Will Take Both To Paint The House?

Answer Question

1 Answer - Sort by: Date | Rating

    Mary paints 1/3 house/hour. Joe paints 1/10 house/hour.
    Together, they paint 1/3 + 1/10 = 13/30 house/hour.
    It will take them (1 house)/(13/30 house/hour) = 30/13 hour to paint 1 house.
    That is 2 4/13 hours.
