sammy can mow a lawn in 3 hours. his two young brothers can each do the job in 2 hours. if sammy and his two young brothers work together, how long would it take them to mow the lawn?
------------------
Sammy does 1/3 per hour
Each brother does 1/2 per hour
------
Together, they do 1/3 + 1/2 + 1/2 per hour = 4/3 per hour
4/3 lawn/hr --> 3/4 hour/lawn
--> 45 minutes
