A community shares a vegetable garden in a park each summer. Last year, it took Sapphire 88 hours to plant the garden by herself. The year before, it took Varsha 66 hours to plant the same garden by herself.
This year, if Sapphire and Varsha work together to plant the same vegetable garden, it would take ??? hours.
What is ???
Answer:
37.71 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Saphire
1garden/88hours
Varsha
1garden/ 66 hours
Together
1/88 + 1/66 = x
use 264 as common denominator
3/264 + 4/264 = 7/264
Together they can do 7 gardens in 264 hours
264/7 = 37.71 hours for 1 garden

Sometimes Brainly double types numbers
If you meant 6 hours and 8 hours
1/6 + 1/8 = x
4/24 + 3/24 = 7/24
24/7 = 3.43 hours
Answer:
If they work together, it would take them 22 hours.
