This is esay to do when you realize the the speed of mowing is addtive. This is if John mows at 1 lawn / (2/3) hour and Gerge mows at 1 lawn / 1hour, the total speed of mowing is:
1 / (2/3) + 1 = 3/2 + 1 = 5/2
=> 5/2 of lawn per hour
Now, the time is calcualted as the amount of lawn divided by the speed:
1 lawn / (5/2 lawn/hour) = 2/5 hour.
Answer: 2/5 of an hour.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let b represent the number of cups of butter needed.
Let s represent the number of cups of sugar needed.
Let o represent the number of cups of oat needed.
Let f represent the number of cups of flour needed.
The recipe calls for two times as many cups of sugar as butter. It means that
s = 2b
Two times as many cups of oats as sugar. It means that
o = 2s
Two times as many cups of flour as oats. It means that
f = 2o
If Duane puts in one cup of butter, it means that b = 1
Therefore,
s = 2 × 1 = 2 cups
o = 2s = 2 × 2 = 4 cups
f = 2o = 2 × 4 = 8 cups
Therefore, he needs to add 8 cups of flour
