Okay, so the rate is 1 job / hours, so:
1/3 + 1/7 (This covers both their work rates) = 1/n (n represents the time it take for them to work together)
Get the LCD:
7/21+ 3/21 = 1/n
10/21 = 1/n
Cross multiply:
10n = 21
n = 2.1 
It will take them 2.1 hours, or 2 hours and 6 minutes

Please answer the following questions: <br><br> 1. 1/2*8=<br> 2. 1/4*4=<br> 3. 1/3*6=
yan [13]
Hey there!

When we multiply fractions and whole numbers, we simply take that whole number and put it over them, and just multiply across. That gives us:

\frac{1}{2}x*8 = \frac{8}{2} = 4

Notice how it's four, because when we have a fraction, we divide. 8 divided by 2 equals four. Next:

\frac{1}{4} *4 = \frac{4}{4} = 1

4/4 is equal to 1 because 4 divided by 4 is one. 4 goes into 4 once. Next, we have:

\frac{1}{3}*6 = \frac{6}{3} = 2

That's because 6/3 = 2.

Hope this helps!
