Respuesta :
Fractions are integers that have both a numerator and a denominator. They are represented as; [tex]\frac{x}{y}[/tex]
Where:
x = Numerator
y = Denominator.
It will take them both [tex]\frac{7}{12}[/tex] hours or 0.583 hours to finish the job together.
To solve the above question, we would be applying the operations of the addition of fractions.
From the question,
Leni can decorate the room in 4 hours. This means in 1 hour, Leni can paint 1/4 of the room.
Lucy, her sister can decorate the room in 3 hours. This means in 1 hour, lucy can decorate 1/3 of the room.
Let us represent the number of hours it will take them both to decorate the room working together as "T"
Hence,
1/T = 1/4 + 1/3
Lowest Common Denominator for (3, 4 ) = 12
Hence,
1/T = 3 + 4 / 12
1/T = 7/12
Find the reciprocal of both sides
T = 7/12 hours or can be expressed in decimals as 0.583 hours.
Therefore, it will take them both [tex]\frac{7}{12}[/tex] hours or 0.583 hours to finish the job together.
