Janet's rate = DW/55
Jim's rate = DW/35
combined rate = DW/55 + DW/35 = 18DW/385
time working together = DW/(18DW/385)
= 385/18
= 21.39 minutes or 21 minutes 23 seconds
Jim's rate = DW/35
combined rate = DW/55 + DW/35 = 18DW/385
time working together = DW/(18DW/385)
= 385/18
= 21.39 minutes or 21 minutes 23 seconds
