Add and Subtract Rational Expressions with a Common Denominator · Exercise 38

If Pete can paint a wall in hours, then in one hour he can paint of the wall. It would take Penelope 3 hours longer than Pete to paint the wall, so in one hour she can paint of the wall. Add the rational expressions to get an expression for the part of the wall Pete and Penelope would paint in one hour if they worked together.
