Answer 1

Given

Cesar can paint a room in 15 hours Alan can paint the same room in 12 hours,

To find: How long does it take for both Cesar and Alan to paint the room if they are working together.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

Cesar can paint a room in 15 hours Alan can paint the same room in 12 hours,

Then, the work done by Cesar is 1/15, and the work done by Alan is 1/12.

Therefore, the total work done by Cesar and Alan is,

`\begin{gathered} Total\text{ work done}=(1)/(15)+(1)/(12) \\ =(4+5)/(60) \\ =(9)/(60) \\ =(3)/(20) \end{gathered}`

Hence, the Alan and Cesar took 20 hours to paint the room together.
