Problema Solution

Jake can wallpaper a room in 10 hours and Maria can do it in 8 hours. What part of the job can they do by working together for 2hours?

Answer provided by our tutors

1/10 room per hour is Jake's rate


1/8 room per hour is Maria's rate


t = 2 hr the time they work together


2*(1/10) + 2*(1/8) = 9/20 of the job
