Answer:

3 hours 36min

Step-by-step explanation:

In 1 hour,

Cory can complete 1/9 of the project

Lynn cna complete 1/6 of the project

Total: 1/9 + 1/6 = 5/18

time taken to complete the project together = 18/18 / 5/18 = 18/5 = 3 3/5 hours

3/5 hours = 36/60 hours = 36minutes

therefore, 3hours 36mins
