If Sally can paint a house in 4 hours, and John can paint the same house in 6 hour, how long will it take for both of them to paint the house together?
Answered by Ms. Sue
Sally can paint 3 houses in 12 hours.

John can paint 2 houses in 12 hours.

Together they can paint 5 houses in 12 hours.

12/5 = 2.4 hours per house
