It takes Alvin 3 hours to paint a room it takes Bernie 5 hours to do the same job how long would it take them to do the job together?
Multiply 3 and 5 to get a Least Common Multiple. 15. So you find how many rooms can Alvin paint in 15 hours (5 rooms). Same with Bernie (3 rooms). That means they can paint 8 rooms in 15 hours. Since you want to find "how long it would take," you flip the rate over. In 15 hours they can paint 8 rooms. Reduce if you want, 15/8= 1.875 hour to paint one room.

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.

If 4 people can paint fences in 5 hours how many hours will it take for 8 people to paint fences?
If 4 people can paint fences in 5 hours, this means that the rate of painting is 1 fence per person every 5 hours. Therefore, 4 people can paint 4 fences in 5 hours. To find out how many hours it will take for 8 people to paint the same number of fences, we can use the concept of inverse variation. Since the number of people has doubled (from 4 to 8), the number of hours needed will be halved. So, it will take 2.5 hours for 8 people to paint the same number of fences.

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

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)
