Remark

The proof is only true if m and n are equal. Make it more general.

m = 2k

n = 2v

m + n = 2k + 2v = 2(k + v).

k and v can be equal but many times they are not. From that simple equation you cannot do anything for sure but divide by 2.

There are 4 combinations

m is divisible by 4 and n is not. The result will not be divisible by 4.

m is not divisible by 4 but n is. The result will not be divisible by 4.

But are divisible by 4 then the sum will be as well. Here's the really odd result

If both are even and not divisible by 4 then their sum is divisible by 4

Answer:

Wouldn't it be 45 minutes as well?

Step-by-step explanation:

If you think about it in a real life scenario, if one person does the job and then another person does the same job at the same speed wouldn't it be the same time? But if its not i think it would be 15 minutes because 45-30 = 15
