Max can mow a lawn in 45 minutes. Jan takes twice as long to mow the same lawn. If they work together, how long will it take them to mow the lawn?

Respuesta :

Answer:

30 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Max can mow a lawn in 45 minutes

Max mows in 45mins= 1 lawn

Max mows in 1 min= 1//45 lawn

Jan takes twice as long to mow the same lawn

Jan mows in 2(45mins)= 1 lawn

Jan mows in 1 min= 1//90 lawn

Now finding how long will it take,t , them to mow the lawn

1/t= 1/45 + 1/90

1/t= (2+1)/90

1/t= 3/90  

t= 90/3  

t = 30  

If they work together, they will take 30 minutes to mow the lawn !
