Answer:
2.4 hr. = time working together
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = time working together
x/6 = work done by Martin
x/4 = work done by Victor
Martin's part + Victor's part = 1 jog done
x/6 + x/4 = 1 Multiply thru by 12
2x + 3x = 12
5x = 12
x = 2.4 hr.
Let's say that the shorter piece is x and the longer piece is 5x (because it's 5 times as long). x+5x=72 and 6x=72. Dividing both sides by 6, we get that x=12, and 72-12=the length of the other piece (since there are only 2 pieces)=60
