Question 989366: If Gloria were to paint her living room alone, it would take
4 hours. Her sister Angela could do the job in
6 hours. How long would it take them working together? Express your answer as a fraction reduced to lowest terms, if needed.
You can put this solution on YOUR website! In an hour, Gloria does 1/4th the room and Angela does 1/6th the room.
Together in an hour they do (1/4)+(1/6)=5/12 th of the room.
It would take them 12/5 hours to do the room together.
