Question 1028977: A ski resort can manufacture enough snow to open its steepest run in 16 h, whereas naturally falling snow would have to last for 48 h to provide enough snow. If the resort makes snow at the same time as it is snowing naturally, how long will it be before the run can be opened?

t/16 is the rate the resort makes snow,
t/48 is the rate for naturally falling snow.
If it is snowing, AND the resort is making snow, then
1/16+1/48=1/t
3/48+1/48=1/t
4/48=1/t
4t=48
t=12 hours to make enough snow, working together!!!!!
