This manuscript together? Answer by rothauserc(4718) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! let t be the time it takes to type the manuscript if Ann and Florence work together, then
:
(1/10) + (1/5) = (1/t)
:
(1/10) + (2/10) = (1/t)
:
3/10 = 1/t
:
cross multiply the fractions
:
3t = 10
:
t = 10/3 = 3.33333333 approximately 3.3 hours
