Delbert can paint a fence by himself in 11 hours and Dorothy can paint the same fence in 12 hours How long will it take them to paint the fence if they work together?
Delbert can paint the fence in 11 hours so in 1 hour Delbert paints 1/11 of a fence. Similarly, in 1 hour Dorothy paints 1/12 of a fence. So together, in 1 hour they paint 1/11 + 1/12 = 12/132 + 11/132 = 23/132 of a fence. So to paint the fence together they would need 1 / (23/132) = 132/23 hours = 5.74 hours

If Jill paints the house in 5 hours and tom paints the house in 4 how long will it take them to paint the house together?
distance=rate*time Jill can paint 1 house in 5 hours. 1=r*5 r=1/5 houses/hour Tom can paint 1 house in 4 hours. 1=r*4 r=1/4 houses/hour 1 house = 1/5*x+1/4*x 1=(4x+5x)/20 20=9x x= 2.2 repeating hours (2 hours, 13 minutes, 20 seconds)
If sally can paint a house in four hours and john can paint the same house in 6 hours how long will it take both of them to paint the house?
It will take Sally and John 2.4 hours to paint the house together. This can be calculated by using the formula 1/4 + 1/6 = 5/12, which means they can paint 5/12 of the house per hour together. To find the time it takes to paint the whole house, you can divide 1 (the whole house) by 5/12, which equals 2.4 hours.

If Joe can paint a house in 3 hours and Sam can paint the same house in 5 hours how long does it take for them to do it together?
Joe can paint the house in 3 hours so Joe paints 1/3 house in an hour. Similarly, Sam paint 1/5 of the house in one hour. So together (assuming no synergy) they paint 1/3 + 1/5 = 8/15 of the house in an hour. So they take 15/8 = 1 + 7/8 = 1.875 days to paint it.

The way you calculate this (assuming that both work at constant speed) is:* Calculate what part of the house each person can paint in an hour. * Add both fractions together, to calculate what part of the house you can paint together. * Take the reciprocal of this last result, to calculate the number of hours.
