1/45 + 1/40 = 1/t\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "360t*(1/45) + 360t*(1/40) = 360t*(1/t)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "8t + 9t = 360\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "17t = 360\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "t = 360/17\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "t = 21.176\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So if they worked together, it would take them approximately 21.176 minutes.
