Question 425683: Hi, My name is Jakarria. I'm not to good on word problems and I need help solving this question please.
**If Sally can paint a house in 4 hours, and John can paint the same house in 6 hour, how long will it take for both of them to paint the house together?
I tried taking 6 and dividing it by 4 and i tried subtracting it. I did't exactly come up with the exact answer but i just came up with an answer that had at least 2 hours and I got the question wrong.

Let Sally take 1/4 hours
John= 1/6 hours
Total=1/x

It would take them 2.4 hours
