You can put this solution on YOUR website! A can do a piece of work in 7 days and 9 hours each and B can do it in 6 days of 7 hours each. How long will they take to do it, working together
-------------------------------
A DATA:
time = 63 hrs/job ; rate = 1/63 job/hr
-----------------------
B DATA:
time = 42 hrs/job ; rate = 1/42 job/hr
---------
Together DATA:
time = x hrs/job ; rate = 1/x job/hr
------------------
Equation:
rate + rate = together rate
1/63 + 1/42 = 1/x
42x + 63x = 42*63
------
105x = 2646
x = 25.02 hrs (hrs to do the job together)
