You can put this solution on YOUR website! First let's add up what they can do individually in one hour:
1/6+1/8 = 8/48+6/48 =14/48 = 7/24
Now let t stand for the time it takes them to complete the job together:
In 1 hour: 7/24 = 1/t
Flip the equation, and you get:
t = 24/7 = 3.43 hours or 3 hours and (60*.43 = 25.8) 26 minutes.
