A student must leave for campus in 10 minutes or he will be late for class.​ Unfortunately, he is snowed in. He can shovel the driveway in 18 ​minutes, and his brother claims to be able to do it in 12 minutes. If they shovel​ together, how long will it take to clear the​ driveway? Will this give enough time for the student to get to the​ campus?
