Question 1040415: john can load his truck with peaches in 18 hours. his friend, peter, takes twice as long to load johns truck with peaches. how long will it take them working together to load the truck with peaches Found 2 solutions by jorel555, ikleyn:Answer by jorel555(1290) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! If john can load his truck in 18 hours, then he loads 1/18 of his truck per hour. Peter loads 1/36 truck per hour. So:
n/18+n/36=1
2n+n=36
n=12
Working together, they can load the truck in 12 hours ☺☺☺
