15.0 minutes
22.5 minutes
30.0 minutes
120.0 minutes

30 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Max mow the lawn in minutes = 45

Max can mow a part of lawn in 1 minute =

We are given that Jan takes twice as long to mow the same lawn.

So, Jane took times to mow the lane = minutes

Jane can mow a part of lawn in 1 minute =

Together they can mow the part of lawn in 1 minute =  

                                                                                      =  

So, they can mow   part of lawn in 1 minute

So, they can mow whole lawn in minutes=  

                                                                   =  

                                                                   =  

Hence it will take 30 minutes to mow the lawn if they work together.
