Lisa takes 3 hours to mow the lawn, while her cousin, barb, takes 2 hours. how long will it take them working together?

5/6 hours= 50 minutes.  

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Lisa takes 3 hours to mow the lawn.

Time taken by Lisa to mow the lawn= 3 hours

Lawn mowed by Lisa in 1 hour = 1/3

Barb, takes 2 hours to mow the same lawn.

Time taken by Barb to mow the lawn= 2 hours

Lawn mowed by Barb in 1 hour = 1/2

Together rates of Barb and Lisa will be 1/3+1/2

We can find time taken by Lisa and Barb, while working together by equating their rates to 1 as they will mow 1 lawn together.

Let us have a common denominator.

Therefore, time taken by Barb and Lisa to mow one lawn is 5/6 hours.

We can convert time in minutes by multiplying 5/6 by 60 (1 hour = 60 minutes).

Therefore, Barb and Lisa can mow the lawn in 50 minutes, if they work together.
