When he uses a push mower it takes him 6 hours to mow the lawn.  (His sister can also mow the lawn in 6 hours with the push mower). Mike wanted to get the lawn mowed as quickly as possible, so he paid his sister $10 to mow with the push mower while he used the riding mower.  How long will it take Mike and his sister to mow the lawn if they work together?  </SPAN>\n" );
