It will take both of them 2 11/12 hours to complete the room

<h3>Fractions and proportions</h3>

Fractions are written as a ratio of two integers. For instance a/b is a fraction.

Let the time it will take them to complete the job together be "x" such that;

1/x = 1/5 + 1/7

Simplify

1/x = 7+5/35

1/x = 12/35

Cross multiply

12x = 35

x = 35/12

x = 2 11/12 hours

Therefore it will take both of them 2 11/12 hours to complete the room
