Question 340594: Martha can mow a lawn in 60 minutes. Jose can mow the same lawn in 48 minutes. How long would it ake them to mow it together? Answer by nyc_function(2741) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Martha = 1 hour
Jose = 48/60 = 4/5
Together = 1/x
1 + 4/5 = 1/x
Can you take it from here and solve for x?
Let x = time for them to do the job together
