Answer:
The time required to finish the work by both candy and Tim working together = 36.83 minute
Step-by-step explanation:
Time taken by the candy to finish the work [tex]T_{1}[/tex]= 85 min
Time taken by the Tim to finish the work [tex]T_{2}[/tex] = 65 min
Thus the time taken by both to finish the work = [tex]\frac{T_1 \times\ T_2}{T_1 + T_2}[/tex]
Put the values of [tex]T_{1}[/tex] and [tex]T_{2}[/tex] we get ,
[tex]T_{}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{85 \times\ 65}{85 + 65}[/tex]
[tex]T_{}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{221}{6}[/tex]
[tex]T_{}[/tex] = 36.83 minute
Thus the time required to finish the work by both candy and Tim working together = 36.83 minute
