Answer:

c =3.9375 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to determine time to finish the job together is

1/a + 1/b = 1/c

Where a and b are the times to complete the job separately and c is the time to complete the job when working together

1/7 + 1/9 = 1/c

Multiply by 63c to get rid of the fractions

63c*(1/7 + 1/9) = 1/c *63c

9c + 7c = 63

Combine like terms

16c = 63

Divide each side by 16

16c/16 = 63/16

c =3.9375 hours
