and Mandy 9 hours to proof read a chapter.
How long would it take them working together?
(Round you answer to two decimals).
:
Let t = time required when working together
Let the completed job = 1
:
A typical shared work equation + = 1
multiply by 99, to clear the denominators
99* + 99* = 99
cancel the denominators
9t + 11t = 99
20t = 99
t = 99/20
t = 4.95 hr together
