It takes a groundskeeper 35 minutes to prepare a Little League baseball field for a game. It takes his assistant 45 minutes to prepare the same field. How long will it take if they work together to prepare the field?

a) It takes a groundskeeper 45 minutes to prepare a softball field for a game. It takes his assistant 50 minutes to prepare the same field. How long will it take if they work together to prepare the field?

G does 1/45 job per minute

A does 1/50 job per minute

Together, they do 1/45 + 1/50 = 19/450 jobs/minute

--> 450/19 minutes to do the job

You can use a shortcut, product/sum

50*45/(50+45) = 2250/95

= 450/19

b) It takes the owner/operator of a dog kennel 7 hours to clean all of the cages. It takes his assistant 4 hour(s) more than that to clean the same cages. How long will it take if they work together?

This is 7 and 11 hours.

7*11/(7+11) = 77/18 hours

= ~ 4.28 hours

the entire expression should be subtracted from 30. to subtract the quantity, distribute the negative sign, which changes the signs on the terms. so, the –2 changes to positive and gets added to 30 instead of subtracted from it.

hope this ! ^w^
