Tatum can paint 4 walls in 45 minutes and Joe can paint 3 walls in 37 minutes.
If they decide to paint together, how many walls could they paint in one hour?
:
T paints: 45%2F4 = 1 wall in 11.25 min
J paints: 37%2F3 = 1 wall in 12.33 min
:
in 60 min T paints 60%2F11.25 = 5.33 walls
in 60 min J paints 60%2F12.33 = 4.86 walls
-------------------------------------------------
working together they paint: 10.2 walls
