    Answer:

    If they work together, they will take 6.16 days.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Elsa takes 14 days to complete the work.

    So, 1 day work by Elsa is \frac{1}{14}

    Anna takes 11 days to complete the work.

    So, 1 day work by Anna is \frac{1}{11}.

    So, Let if they work together, it would take x number of days.

    So, we can set up equation as

    \frac{1}{14} +\frac{1}{11}=\frac{1}{x}

    Find LCD, which is 154.

    \frac{11}{154} +\frac{14}{154} =\frac{1}{x}

    Simplify

    \frac{25}{154} =\frac{1}{x}

    Cross multiply,

    25x=154

    Divide both sides by 25

    x=6.16 days

    If they work together, they will take 6.16 days.
