1/4+1/5+1/6=1/x

LCM = 60

15/60+12/60+10/60=1/x

37/60=1/x

37x=60

x=60/37=1.62, round =1.6

1.6 HOURS

The number of hours they would take them all working together is around 1.6 hours.

What are ratios and proportions?

A ratio is the divide of the two variables and the lower variable known as the denominator should not be zero.

Given that laine takes 4 hours to complete work

In 1 hour Laine will do 1/4 part of the work.

In 1 hour Leslie will do 1/5 part of the work.

In a 1-hour Lance will do 1/6 part of the work.

so let's suppose all done work by x hours then

1/4 + 1/5 + 1/6 = 1/x

x =1.6 so all together done the work by 1.6 hours.
