jack took 2 minutes to fill a bucket up.
\n" ); document.write( "Sarah took 3 minutes to fill a bucket up.
\n" ); document.write( "How long will it take for both of them to fill the same bucket up at the same time?
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Let x = time (minutes) it takes for both
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "x(1/2 + 1/3) = 1
\n" ); document.write( "multiplying both sides by 6 we get:
\n" ); document.write( "x(6/2 + 6/3) = 6
\n" ); document.write( "x(3 + 2) = 6
\n" ); document.write( "x(5) = 6
\n" ); document.write( "x = 6/5 minutes
\n" ); document.write( "or
\n" ); document.write( "x = 1 minute and 12 seconds
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
