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

How do you translate a word phrase into a math expression?
if sally can paint a house in 4 hours and john can paint the same house in 6 hours, how long will it take for them to paint the house together?
What formula is used to determine If sally cfan paint a house in four hours and john can paint the same house in 6 hours how long will it take for both of them to paint the house together?
You don't need a formula. You need to understand where the answer comes from. If you understand where the answer comes from, you can write your own formula. If you don't, then a formula can be dangerous in your hands. -- Sally can paint 1/4 of the house in an hour. -- John can paint 1/6 of the same house in an hour. -- If they work together, then can paint (1/4 + 1/6) = 5/12 of the house in an hour. -- If they paint 5/12 of the house in an hour, then it takes them 12/5 hours to finish the job, or 2.4 hours, or 2hours 24minutes. Well, OK. Here's the formula: S = number of hours it takes Sally J = number of hours it takes John Number of hours it takes them working together = 1 / (1/S + 1/J)
