Answer:
Working together, they will finish the job in 1 hour, 25 minutes, and 42.6 seconds.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that Ted can change an advertisement on a billboard in 5 hours, while Marie can do the same job in 2 hours, to determine how long it would take them if they worked together the following calculation must be performed:
Ted 1/5 in 1 hour
Marie 1/2 in 1 hour
1/5 + 1/2 = X
5X + 2X = 10
7X = 10
X = 10/7
X = 1 3/7
60/7 x 3 = 25.71
60 x 0.71 = 42.6
So, working together, they will finish the job in 1 hour, 25 minutes, and 42.6 seconds.
