Answer:

t =\frac{24}{7}\ hours

Step-by-step explanation:

For these types of problems use the following formula.

\frac{t}{x}+\frac{t}{z} =1

Where t is the time it takes them both to clean the entire pool if they work together.

x is the time it takes Anita to clean the pool

z is the time it takes Chao to clean the pool

So:

\frac{t}{8}+\frac{t}{6} =1

Now solve the equation for t

\frac{7}{24}t =1

t =\frac{24}{7}\ hours
