Mr Bean's rate:
( 1 car ) / ( 15 min )
Son's rate:
( 1 car ) / ( 30 min )
Working together:
( 1 car ) / ( t min )
------------------
Add their rates of working
+1%2F15+%2B+1%2F30+=+1%2Ft+
Multiply both sides by +30t+
+2t+%2B+t+=+30+
+3t+=+30+
+t+=+10+
Working together, it takes them
10 min to wash a car
