You must find the relative rates of both workers...

T=f/3 and J=f/2  so if they work together to clear the field then:

ft/3+ft/2=f  make all terms have a common denominator of 6

(2/2)(ft/3)+(3/3)(ft/2)=(6/6)f

2ft/6+3ft/6=6f/6  multiply both sides by 6

2ft+3ft=6f  divide both sides by f

2t+3t=6  combine like terms on left side

5t=6  divide both sides by 5

t=6/5 hr

t=1 1/5 hr

t=1 hr 12 min

So basically u keep the x on one side and the rest on the other. Get a common denominator. to get rid of the half u times both sides by 2.
hope this helps

Factor out the coefficient of the variable 5/6s+2/3
DochEvi [55]
Okay. so I'm gonna assume you know what factor out means--were gonna take out 5/6. what we need to know is, how does that affect our ending number 2/3? well, we're gonna have 5/6 times some stuff first off, right?

5/6 ( )

so what's in the parenthesis? well, if we distribute in our mind, S would just have to be by itself for it to work out. so we have

5/6 ( s )

but what about 2/3? well, if we're multiplying everything on the inside by 5/6, how can be get it to cancel and leave 2/3 alone? we could divide 2/3 by 5/6, right?

5/6 ( s + (2/3) / (5/6) )

now, when we distribute our 5/6, we'll have just 2/3 at the end. now let's simplify that end term so it looks a little better. if we divide by a fracion, that's the same as multiplying by the flipped version, so let's do that.

2/3 / 5/6 = 2/3 × 6/5 = 2 (6) / 5 (3) = 12/15

we can reduce 12/15 by dividing the top and bottom by three.

= 4/5

so our final answer would be:

5/6 [S + 4/5] you can redistribute to make sure it matches. Anyway, hope that helps!
