Answer: it will take them 8.89 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Amber can paint a room in 20 hours. This means that Amber's working rate per hour is 1/20

Christy can paint the same room in 16 hours. This means that Christy's working rate per hour is 1/16

If they work together, they would be working simultaneously and their unit rates is additive. This means that their combined rate would be

1/20 + 1/16

Assuming it takes t hours for both of them to paint the room working together. It means that their combined working rate per hour is 1/t. Therefore

1/20 + 1/16 = 1/t

(16 + 20/320 = 1/t

36/320 = 1/t

t = 320/36

t = 8.89 hours
