Jack usually mows his lawn in 3 hours. Marilyn can mow the same yard in 6 hours. How much time would it take for them to mow the lawn together?​

Sagot :

Step-by-step explanation:

Jack mows 1 lawn in 3 hours

= 1/3 lawn in 1 hour

Marilyn mows 1 lawn in 6 hours

= 1/6 lawn in 1 hour

Together, they can mow 1/3 + 1/6

= 1/2 lawn in 1 hour.

Hence they will need 2 hours to mow the lawn.
