Answer:A contractor finds that Crew A takes 5(1/2) hours to construct a retaining wall and Crew B can do the same job in 7(1/2) hours.

If Crew A and Crew B work together, how long will it take them to construct the retaining wall?

a) Let h = the time to complete the job. Write the equation you would use to solve this problem.

:

let the completed job = 1, each will do a fraction of the job which adds up to 1

h%2F5.5 + h%2F7.5 = 1

Step-by-step explanation:f means fraction 2/5.5 2/7.5
