If Sally can paint a house in 4 hours, and John can paint the same house in 6 hour, how long will it take for both of them to paint the house together?

(x/4)+(x/6)=1
(3x/12)+(2x/12)=1
5x/12=1
5x=12
x=12/5 or 2 hours and 24 minutes

I agree with Alan. I think the answer is 2 hours and 24 minutes.

1 hour they can print 10/24 of the wall, 2 hr is 20/24 and the other 4/24 is 10 minutes.

So i guess the answer is 2hr, 10 min.
