Question 487205: Joan can weed the garden in 40 min and her mother can weed it in 60 min. How long would it take them working together??????? Answer by josmiceli(19441) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Add their rates of working
Joan's rate is ( 1 garden weeded) / ( 40 min )
Mother's rate is ( 1 garden weeded ) / ( 60 min )
Let their rate working together = ( 1 garden weeded ) / ( x min )
Multiply both sides by
It will take them 24 min working together
