Martha can paint a room in 2 hours. Jamie can paint the same room in 6 hours. How long, to the nearest tenth of an hour, will it take them to paint the room together?

Respuesta :

Martha in 2 hours = 1 room
Martha in 1 hour = 1/2 room.

As like the Martha,
Jamie in 1 hour = 1/6 room.

Both together,
[tex] \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{6} \\ \frac{3 + 1}{6} = \frac{4}{6} = \frac{2}{3} \\ = 0.6666...[/tex]
= 0.67 hours to paint a room.

!! Hope It Helps !!
