Question 944777: Noni can paint his garage in 3 1/2 hours while his friend Anton can paint it in 4 hours, if they work together, how long would it take them to finish the job? Answer by macston(5194) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Noni paints 1 garage in 3.5 hrs or 1 garage/3.5 hrs=0.286 garage/hr
Anton paints 1 garage in 4 hrs or 1 garage/4 hrs=0.250 garage/hr
And together: 0.286 garage/hr + 0.250 garage/hr=0.536 garage/hr
To paint the whole garage: 1 garage/0.536 garage/hr=1.87 hours
ANSWER Noni and Anton can paint the entire garage in 1.87 hours.
