If one fauset can fill a bucket in six minutes and another fauset can fill the same bucket in four minutes . How many seconds would it take to fill the bucket with both fauset's on.
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------
\n" ); document.write( "1st fauset rate: 1/6 job/min
\n" ); document.write( "2nd fauset rate: 1/4 job/min
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Together rate: 1/x job/min
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "rate + rate = together rate
\n" ); document.write( "1/6 + 1/4 = 1/x
\n" ); document.write( "2x + 3x = 12
\n" ); document.write( "5x = 12
\n" ); document.write( "x = 2.4 minutes (time to do the job together)
