Question 634463: Cerise can paint the living room in 2 hours and kyle can paint it in 3 hours. If they work together, how long will it take them to complete the job? Answer by josmiceli(19441) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Add their rates of painting
( 1 living room ) / ( 2 hrs ) + ( 1 living room ) / ( 3 hrs ) = ( 1 living room ) / ( x hrs )
Multiply both sides by
This is 1 + 1/5 or
1 hour and 12 minutes with both painting
