Question 760150: How will I go about this problem? help please
Joe can type one page in 8 minutes. Tyler can type one page in 12 minutes. How long would it take them working together, to type 50 pages?
t=time together
1=one page typed
t/8=fraction of page typed by Joe in t minutes
t/12=fraction of page typed by Tyler in t minutes
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Two agents are contributing to the same job. Look at the rate of each in pages per minute.
Joe: 1/8 pages per minute.
Tyler: 1/12 pages per minute.
They both work together for unknown time, t minutes to type 50 pages. The rate at which the pages are typed is the combined addition of the two rates.
