George can plant 1/120 garden in one minute
Joyce can plant 1/180 garden in one minute
In 45 minutes, they can together plant
45/120 + 45/180 = 3/8 + 1/4 = 5/8 garden
That leaves 3/8 garden for Joyce to plant.
3/8 รท 1/180 = 67.5 minutes
Joyce can plant 1/180 garden in one minute
In 45 minutes, they can together plant
45/120 + 45/180 = 3/8 + 1/4 = 5/8 garden
