Question 430641
Three boys can paint a fence in 4 hours, 5 hours, and six hours respectively. Find how long it will take all three boys to paint the fence together.
-----------------
1 does 1/4 per hour
1 does 1/5 per hour
1 does 1/6 per hour
Together, they do 1/4 + 1/5 + 1/6 per hour
= 15/60 + 12/60 + 10/60 = 37/60 per hour
--> 60/37 hours/fence
=~ 1.62 hours
