Hello! Your answer is B, 10 minutes.

Say the x = minutes taken to do the job. You can set up an equation like this to solve this.

\frac{1}{15} x + \frac{1}{30} x = 1

This is representative of the situation. The fractions each represent <u>how much each person does in a minute</u>, and when they're multiplied by x, that's <u>how much of the project they get done</u> based off of the minutes they work together on the job. Add the two together, and you get <u>how much of the project is finished in x amount of time</u>. Set it equal to 1, as you are looking for 100% completion.

Once you have this equation, find a common denominator, add, and solve.

\frac{1}{15} x + \frac{1}{30} x = 1

\frac{2}{30} x + \frac{1}{30} x = 1

\frac{3}{30}x = 1

\frac{1}{10}x = 1

x = 10

Therefore, it will take them 10 minutes to do the job together.

Hope this helps!
