Total Time = (M x K) / (M + K)
5 = (8 x K) / (8 + K)
40 + 5 K = 8K
40 = 3K
King can do the job in 13.33 Hours
King could mow (1 / 13.33) of the lawn in one hour.
It takes 7 hours to mow 4 lawns
Therefore every hour, (4 ÷ 7) or 4/7 lawns are mowed. This gives the rate.
For 35 hours, 4/7 x 35 lawns are mowed.
=35 ÷ 7 = 5
= 4 × 5
= 20 lawns

Convert the two fractions into simpler fractions: 3 2/5 --> 17/5 and 4 1/5 --> 21/5. Notice the the denominators are identical, so we simply add the numerators: (17 + 21)/5 = 38/5 = 7 3/5.
There is an easier way to do this, this is just the most clear way of seeing everything.
