Thanks! Answer by checkley71(8403) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! ROMY COMPLETES 2/8 OF THE JOB OR 1/4.
ROBERT COMPLETES 2/6 0F THE JOB OR 1/3
1/4+1/3=(3+4)/12=7/12 OF THE JOB IS COMPLETED IN THE FIRST 2 HOURS WHEN THEWY WORK TOGETHER.
ROBERT NEEDS TO COMPLETE THE REMAINING 5/12. THUS:
5/12*6=30/12=2.5 HOURS FOR ROBERT TO COMPLETE THE JOB BY HIMSELF.
