Question 535406: Nicole can paint a room in six hours, Alexandra can paint a room in 5 hours, and Liana can paint a room in 4 hours. If all three work together, how long will it take them to paint the room? Answer by josmiceli(19441) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Add their rates of painting
( 1 room / 6 hrs ) + ( 1 room / 5 hrs ) + ( 1 room / 4 hrs ) = 1 room / x hrs
Multiply both sides by hrs
It will take them 1 hr and 37 min
check:
OK
