It takes you 30 minutes to rake the leaves in your yard and it takes your brother 45 minutes. how long does it take the two of you to rake the leaves when working together? (larson, 2011) larson, r.

x = 18 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

We work in fraction of the work done per minute.

You rake 1/30th of the yard in 1 minute and your brother rakes 1/45 of the yard in 1 minute. So we have:

1/30 + 1 /45 = 1/ x  where x = time taken when working together.

Multiply through by the LCD ( = 90x):

3x + 2x = 90

5x = 90

x = 18 minutes.

i believe that is true.
