Answer:

in one minute they rake \frac{y+x}{xy} leaves working together.

Step-by-step explanation:

If Maya rakes the leaves in x minutes, then, in one minute she rakes \frac{1}{x} leaves.

In the case of Carla, if she rakes the leaves in y minutes, in one minute she rakes \frac{1}{y} leaves.

Therefore, to know the portion of leaves they can rake in one minute working together, we need to sum up both of the portions each one of them rake in one minute, this gives us: \frac{1}{x}+ \frac{1}{y}

Now, to simplify this expression:

\frac{1}{x}+ \frac{1}{y}  =\frac{y+x}{xy}

Thus, in one minute they rake \frac{y+x}{xy} leaves.
