Your condition is written incorrectly.

I suppose that you are a novice in joint-work problems.
There is a lesson in this site
    - Using Fractions to solve word problems on joint work,
specially intended for you.

Read it attentively. Note every word.
Consider these problems as samples for you.

Then solve your problem by substituting your data.

If you still have problems please let me know through "thank you" form/message.

Good luck !
