You can put this solution on YOUR website! Mowing the lawn= 1 job
Joanne 40 minutes
She does 1/40 job in 1 minute

In the post by @mananth, the internal calculations are presented in wrong form
and can scare/confuse a reader. So I came to make a job as accurately as it should be done.
Joanne makes 1/40 of the job per minute.
Hope makes 1/50 of the job per minute.
Working together, the make
+ = + =
of the gob per minute.
Hence, they need = 22 minutes to complete the job working together.
