If Walt can paint 25 feet of fence in an hour, and Joe can paint 35 feet in an hour, how many minutes will it take them to paint a 150-foot fence if they work together?
Answer (3)
If Walt paints 25 ft. on one hour, and Joe pairs 35 ft in an hour, then they paint 60 ft per hour together. So, 60ft divided into the 150 ft fence equals 2 1/2 hours.
It will take Walt & Joe 2 1/2 hours to paint a 150ft fence.
The answer is 2 and a half hours
Walt and Joe can paint a 150-foot fence together in 2.5 hours, which is equivalent to 150 minutes. They paint at a combined rate of 60 feet per hour. Therefore, the painting job will take them 150 minutes in total.
