In 1 minute bill washes 1/6 of a car and Joe washes 1/8 of a car. 1/6 + 1/8 = 14/48. A whole care = 48/48. Therefore you should divide 48 by 14 to get 3.429. However since this is in minutes you need to find how much seconds 0.429 of 1 minute is. 0.429 x 60 = 26 seconds (rounded). Add that to the original three minutes and you have 3 minutes 26 sec to wash the entire car working together.

Janet can shovel snow from her driveway in 45 minutes Bill can do the same job in 65 minutes How long would it take Janet and Bill to shovel the driveway if they worked together?

About 26 mins 35 secs (26.6 mins). In 1 minute, Janet will shovel 1/45 of the snow and Bill will shovel 1/65. Thus in 1 minute, working together they will shovel 1/45 + 1/65 = 22/585 of the snow. Thus to shovel all the snow will take: 585/22 minutes = 2613/22 minutes ~= 26 mins 35 secs.
