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?
I am the mathematics teacher for the Specialized High School section at IP Kids Our goal this summer is to familiarize the students with the type of questions that will be given on the New York City Specialized High School Test. The test will be given on the first weekend in November 2009.

i think itll take them 6 hours...
(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.
