Adam can paint a house in 5 hours. Audrey can paint the same house in 6 hours. If they work together how long will it take
\n" ); document.write( "to paint the house?
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Let x = time (hours) for them working together
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "x(1/5 + 1/6) = 1
\n" ); document.write( "multiplying both sides by 30:
\n" ); document.write( "x(6 + 5) = 30
\n" ); document.write( "11x = 30
\n" ); document.write( "x = 30/11
\n" ); document.write( "x = 2.73 hours
\n" ); document.write( "or
\n" ); document.write( "x = 2 hours and 44 minutes \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
