The combined time taken if Mario and Ben work together will be 1.875 days.

Time taken:

  • Mario alone = 3 days
  • Ben alone = 5 days

Work rate :

  • Rate = 1 / time taken
  • Mario's rate = 1 / 3
  • Ben's rate = 1/5

Their combined rate can be written thus :

  • Mario's rate + Ben's rate = combined rate
  • 1/3 + 1/5 = 8/15

Time taken if they work together :

  • Reciprocal of combined work rate
  • Combined time taken = 1 ÷ 8/15 = 15/8 = 1.875 days

Therefore, the time taken of they work together is 1.875 days
