The answer to your question is : 80 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Mark = 120 minutes

Alexis = 240 minutes

Together = ??

We need to write an equation, we consider that in 1 minute, Mark loads 1/120 and Alexis 1/240. Then the equation is:

                   1 = x/120 + x/240             1 = truck uploaded ;   x = time in minutes

   Solve it     1 = (2x + x) /240

           240 = 3x

             x = 240/3

             x = 80 minutes
