Benone would finish mower garden in 8 hours. Pandele would finish in 10 hours mowing same garden. How long would finish mower garden together?



Answer :

In 1 hour, Benone _ _ _ g / 8 ;
In 1 hour, Pandele _ _ _ g / 10 ;
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
In 1 hour, Benone and Pandele  _ _ _ g / 8 + g / 10 = 5g / 40 + 4g / 40 = 9g / 40;
Benone and Pandele would finish garden together in 40 / 9 hours = 4 hours 26 minutes 40 seconds;
