Answer:
2 hrs 13 mins
Step-by-step explanation:
If Richard can paint the living room in 4 hrs, then in 1 hour he can paint 1/4 of the living .
If Vanessa can paint the living room in 5 hours, then in one hour, she can paint 1/5 of the living room.
In one hour Richard and Vanessa can paint 1/4 + 1/5 = 1/y
y is the number of hours it will take both Richard and Vanessa to paint the living room. 1/y is how much of the house they can paint in one hour.
1/4 + 1/5 = 1/y
(5 + 4)/20. ( find the LCM)
9/20 = 1/y
9y= 20
y = 20/9
y = 2.22hrs
y = 2 hrs 13 mins
A common denominator for 1/4 and 5/6...
1/4 = 3/12
5/6 = 10/12
the common denominator (LCM) would be 12
