Delbert can paint the fence in 11 hours so in 1 hour Delbert paints 1/11 of a fence. Similarly, in 1 hour Dorothy paints 1/12 of a fence. So together, in 1 hour they paint 1/11 + 1/12 = 12/132 + 11/132 = 23/132 of a fence. So to paint the fence together they would need 1 / (23/132) = 132/23 hours = 5.74 hours
144 minutes.
It would take them 4 hours to paint the house together.
Caroline can paint half the fence in 3 hours and Lily can paint half the fence in 2 hours, so it will take a total of 5 hours for them to paint the fence while working together.
distance=rate*time Jill can paint 1 house in 5 hours. 1=r*5 r=1/5 houses/hour Tom can paint 1 house in 4 hours. 1=r*4 r=1/4 houses/hour 1 house = 1/5*x+1/4*x 1=(4x+5x)/20 20=9x x= 2.2 repeating hours (2 hours, 13 minutes, 20 seconds)

It will take Sally and John 2.4 hours to paint the house together. This can be calculated by using the formula 1/4 + 1/6 = 5/12, which means they can paint 5/12 of the house per hour together. To find the time it takes to paint the whole house, you can divide 1 (the whole house) by 5/12, which equals 2.4 hours.

Caroline can paint half the fence in 3 hours and Lily can paint half the fence in 2 hours, so it will take a total of 5 hours for them to paint the fence while working together.
if sally can paint a house in 4 hours and john can paint the same house in 6 hours, how long will it take for them to paint the house together?

Mrs Kelley wants to paint her classroom. If Mrs. Kelley works alone, it will take her 2 hours to paint her room. If Mrs. McCartney painted the room alone, it would take her 4 hours to paint the room. If Mrs. Kelley can convince McCartney to help her, how long will it take them to paint the room together (in hours and minutes)?
Joe can paint the house in 3 hours so Joe paints 1/3 house in an hour. Similarly, Sam paint 1/5 of the house in one hour. So together (assuming no synergy) they paint 1/3 + 1/5 = 8/15 of the house in an hour. So they take 15/8 = 1 + 7/8 = 1.875 days to paint it.

The way you calculate this (assuming that both work at constant speed) is:* Calculate what part of the house each person can paint in an hour. * Add both fractions together, to calculate what part of the house you can paint together. * Take the reciprocal of this last result, to calculate the number of hours.
1.5 hours + 2 hours = 3.5 hours So 3.5 hours in total!
