Answer:
If Ted can clear a football field of debris in 3 hours, in one hour they will have cleared 1/3 of it.
If Jacob can clear a football field of debris in 2 hours, in one hour they will have cleared 1/2 of it.
So if they work together, they will clear 1/2 + 1/3, which is 5/6, in one hour.
So the equation we get is 5/6*x = 1 and if we divide both sides by 5/6 we get that x = 1.2 hours
Answer:
[tex]\frac{6}{5}[/tex] of an hour = 1 1/5 hour = 72 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]\frac{1}{3} h + \frac{1}{2}h = 1\\\\\frac{2}{6} h + \frac{3}{6}h = 1\\\\\\\frac{5 }{6} h =1\\\\h=\frac{6}{5}[/tex]
