If A can do a job in x time periods, then A can do 
of the job in 1 time period. Likewise, if B can do the same job in y time periods, then B can do 
of the job in 1 time period.
So, working together, they can do
of the job in 1 time period.
Therefore, they can do the whole job in:
time periods. I'm presuming that you can convert from a decimal fraction of hours to minutes.
