Question 4
1 pts
Lianne takes 3 hours to do a job and Julie takes 4 hours to
do the same job. If they work together, how many hours
will it take them to complete the job?

Respuesta :

Answer:

12/7 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the rate for hour for the two. For Lianne she can do 1/3 of the job per hour. For Julie she can do 1/4 of the job per hour.

Adding them together, 1/3+1/4= 7/12.  

This 7/12 means that working together they can finish 7/12 of a job in an hour. We can use the speed*time=distance formula here and see that

7/12 * time = 1 job done

time = 12/7 hours.
