How long will it take them?

If it takes one women 6 hours to clean a room and a man 8 hours. How long will it take them to do it together?How long will it take them?
1/6 +1/8 = 1/x





This equation says the first person finished 1/ 6 of the job in one hour, the second 1/8 in one hour and together 1/x in one hour.





Multiply thru by 24





4 + 3 = 24/x





7 = 24/x





7x = 24





x = 3 3/7 hrs or 3:26


.How long will it take them?
9 to 10 hours... because when you combine a man and a woman to clean... the man cleans and the woman nags the man for doing it wrong hahahaaa





I'm only kidding! I am a woman .. I just found that funny because that's exactly what happens when my dad cleans in the presence of my mom... or when my mom drives in the presence of my dad (my dad being the one nagging in the situation)





Again it was a joke
