Two people are painting a fence one takes 3 hours to complete the job and one takes 6 hours to complete the same job how long would it take for both to complete the same job?

My somewhat educated guess would be two hours. The person who could complete the job in 3 hours could complete 2/3 of the job in two hours. The person that complete the job in 6 hours could complete 1/3 of the job in two hours. 2/3 + 1/3 = 1.

The fastest way to stain a fence is to have a group of people do it. I helped stain a fence this morning and we had four people. It took us four hours using paint brushes, sprayers, and rollers. I would get a sprayer that sprays an even coat.


Delbert can paint a fence by himself in 11 hours and Dorothy can paint the same fence in 12 hours How long will it take them to paint the fence if they work together?

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

If a job takes 12 men 4 hours to complete how long should it take 15 men to complete the job?

answer:for a problem like this you have to compute how many person-hours it will take to complete the job and then it's easy to figure out the total time.so,let j = total job person-hours = 12 people * 4 hours = 48 person-hoursso, we know we need 48 person-hours to complete the entire job. so, given that we have now 15 people to complete the job,let t = total time to complete job with 15 people = 48 person-hours / 15 people = 3.2 hours, or 3 hours 12 minutestherefore, for a job that takes 12 people 4 hours, assuming there is no particular constraint on the amount done per person, the job can be done in 3 hours 12 minutes with 15 people. (for instance, although one woman can have a baby in nine months, 9 women can't have a baby in one month)previous answer:I think it'll be 1hourmy own conclusion
