:
We know that it takes Mohair 4 hrs to complete the job,
so after 1 hr, 1/4 of the job is done, right?
;
Let x = the time required when they work together on the remaining 3/4
Let the completed job = 1
: = 1
:
Multiply equation by 12 and you have:
3 + 3x + 4x = 12
:
7x = 12 - 3
:
7x = 9
:
x = 9/7 hrs
:
1 & 2/7 hrs or about 1 hr 17 minutes,
Include Mohair's 1 hr alone and it's 2 hrs 17 min
