Anita can clean a typical pool in eight hours. Ciao can clean a typical pool in six hours. How long should it take Anita and ciao working together to clean a typical pool? So all your work your final is an integer or reduced fraction..

Answer 1

To find out how long it will take Anita and Ciao working together to clean a pool, we need to calculate their combined rate of work.

Anita's rate of work = 1 pool / 8 hours = 1/8 pools per hour
Ciao's rate of work = 1 pool / 6 hours = 1/6 pools per hour

Combined rate of work = Anita's rate of work + Ciao's rate of work
Combined rate of work = 1/8 + 1/6 = 3/24 + 4/24 = 7/24 pools per hour

Now we need to find out how long it will take Anita and Ciao to clean a pool at a combined rate of 7/24 pools per hour.
Let x be the number of hours it takes Anita and Ciao to clean the pool together.

(7/24) * x = 1
x = 24/7 = 3 3/7 hours

Therefore, it will take Anita and Ciao 3 3/7 hours to clean a typical pool together.
