Answer:
they work together, it will take 2.4 hours to build the wall.
Step-by-step explanation:
One bricklayer can build a wall in 6 hours.
One hour work =
Another bricklayer can build the same wall in 4 hours.
One hour work =
They can together, how long will take them to build the wall.
Let's take "t" the time taken to build the wall.
The sum of their work rate = 1 (To build the wall)
Now we have to solve this equation. Take LCD of 6 and 4.
The LCD (least common divisor) of 6 and 4 is 12.
5t = 12*1
5t = 12
Dividing both sides by 5, we get
t =
t = 2.4 hours.
So, they work together, it will take 2.4 hours to build the wall.
