Question

Rosa can paint a room in 12 hours. hanna can paint the same room in 9 hours. how long does it take for both rosa and hanna to paint the room if they are working together?

Answer 1

Rosa can paint 1/12 of the room in a hour
Hanna can paint 1/9 of the room in a hour
Together they can paint 1/9+1/12 of the room in a hour or 7/36 of the room
Since they can paint 7/36 of the room in a hour. They paint the whole thing in 36/7 hours.
