Problema Solution
Jak cut the grass in 6 hours. Ana can do it in 7 hours. How long will it take them both to cut the grass
Answer provided by our tutors
Jak cut the grass in 6 hours thus in 1 hour he will cut 1/6 of the grass
Ana can do it in 7 hours this in 1 hour she will cut 1/7 of the grass
let 'x' represent the number of hours needed to cut the grass together, x>0
In 1 hour Jak and Anna will cut 1/x of the grass
Now we have:
1/6 + 1/7 = 1/x
by solving we find:
x = 42/13 hr
x = 3 3/13 hr
x = 3 hr 3*60/13 min
x = 3 hr 14 min approximately
