<em>** where Work/Job for this problem is 1 since they are doing 1 work, which is solving a puzzle</em>
- <u>Finding rate of Sanjay:</u>
- <u>Finding rate of Felipe:</u>
Working together, their rate is the sum,
Total Rate = .
Using the general formula again, we can find the time it will take to solve the puzzle when both works together.
