For problems such as this, it can be handy to remember that
.. 1/(1/a +1/b) = ab/(a +b)

The time required to do a job is the inverse of the rate at which the job is done. Rates are added when people work together (in math problems, not in real life).

(2:44)*(3:14)/(2:44 +3:14) = 1:28:52.3

___
2:44 = 41/15 hours = 82/30 hours
3:14 = 97/30 hours
Using the formula above, we have a "working together" time of
.. (82/30)*(97/30)/(82/30 +97/30) = 82*97/(30*179) = 3977/2685 . . . hours
.. = 1 hour 28 156/179 minutes
.. = 1 hour 28 minutes 52 52/179 seconds

___

Explain how you can use base ten blocks to find 1.54+ 2.37
solong [7]
0.00

*First column to your left - ones column (1)
*Column just after decimal place, in the middle - tenths column (1/10)
*Column to the far right - hundredths column (1/100)

The only numbers that can go in these columns are 0-9.

-------------

1.54 + 2.37 

= (1 + 5/10 + 4/100) + (2 + 3/10 + 7/100)

= 1 + 5/10 + 4/100 + 2 + 3/10 + 7/100

= 3 + 8/10 + 11/100

= 3 + 8/10 + (10/100 + 1/100)

= 3 + 8/10 + (1/10 + 1/100)

= 3 + 8/10 + 1/10 + 1/100

= 3 + 9/10 + 1/100

= 3.91
