Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

John can mow the same lawn in 3 hours.

In 1 hour he can mow 1/3rd of the lawn.

In 1 hour they can together mow (1/2+1/3)=5/6th of the lawn.

Together they can mow the lawn in 6/5 hours=1.2 hours.

I hope this helped, please mark Brainliest, thank you!!

Time taken to mow the lawn together is 6/5 hours i.e., 1.2 hours.

The correct option is (C).

What is a algebra ?

Algebra is a branch of mathematics dealing with symbols and the rules for manipulating those symbols.

Given:

John can mow his lawn in 3 hours.

Julie can mow same lawn in 2 hours.

In 1 hour = 1/3rd of the lawn.

In 1 hour, together they can mow

= (1/2+1/3)

=5/6th of the lawn.

Hence, time taken to mow the lawn together is 6/5 hours i.e., 1.2 hours.
