If a person can complete a job in 8 hours and his/her friend needs 6 hours to do the same job, what portion of the job would the tow of them complete by working together
for two hours?

Respuesta :

Both of them can complete 7/12 of the job in  2 hours.

What is rate?

Rate is the mathematical term use to show how one quantity varies with a standard quantity.

Analysis:

If He can do the job in 8 hours, then he can do 1/8 of the job in 1 hour

If his friend can do the same job in 6 hours, then he can do 1/6 of that job in 1 hour.

So both of them would do the same job combine in 1 hour = 1/8 + 1/6

LCM of 6 and 8 is 24 so that 3/24 + 4/24 = 7/24

In 2 hours they would complete = 7/24 x 2 = 7/12

In conclusion, both of them can do 7/12 of that job in  2 hours.
