Solve Applications with Rational Equations · Example 7
Suppose Pete can paint a room in 10 hours. If he works at a steady pace, in 1 hour he would paint of the room. If Alicia would take 8 hours to paint the same room, then in 1 hour she would paint of the room. How long would it take Pete and Alicia to paint the room if they worked together (and didn’t interfere with each other’s progress)?
