'Joe can type one page in 8 minutes. Tyler can type one page in 12 minutes.How long would it take them working together, to type 50 pages?' I am having the hardest time creating the form that the equation is supposed to be in, in order to solve the problem. Thank you.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "let us say typing one page is = 1 job\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Joe takes 8 minutes for the job
\n" ); document.write( "so he does 1/8 of the job in 1 minute\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "similarly Tyler does 1/12 of the job in 1 minute\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So together they will do 1/12 + 1/8 of the job in 1 minute\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "= (2+3)/24
\n" ); document.write( "= 5/24 of the job in 1 minute\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so they can type 24/5 pages in one minute\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "for 50 pages they will take 50 * 24/5 minutes\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "=240 minutes\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
