Doe's swiming pool can be filled in 12 hours
so doe's rate is 1/12 pool per hour
basicallly, in 1 hour, 1/12 of the pool if filled


the jonesles take 30 hours
so 1/30 pool per hour
basically in 1 hour, 1/30 of the pool is filled


so 

combined
1/12+1/30
find common denom
12=2*2*3
30=2*3*5
common denom=2*2*3*5=60

1/12 times 5/5=5/60
1/30 times 2/2=2/60
so

add the rates
in 1 hour, a total of 1/12+1/30 or 5/60+2/60=7/60 pool per hour


so
7/60 pool per hour

amount=rate times time
we want 1 pool to be filled
rate is 7/60 pool per hour
t=time

1=7/60 pool per hour times t
times both sides by 60/7
60/7=t
8.57142857143=t
takes about 8.57 o 8.6 hours
