Answer:
Together they will complete the order in 6/5 hours.
Step-by-step explanation:
Lisa an experience shipping clerk can fill a certain order in 2 hours.
Jim a new clerk needs 3 hours to do the same job working.
For 1 hours Lisa can fill 1/2 a order.
For 1 hours Jim can fill 1/3 a order.
For 1 hours togethers can fill 1/2+ 1/3=5/6 a order.
We have the following proportion:
[tex]1:\frac{5}{6}=x:1\\\\\frac{5}{6}x=1\\\\x=\frac{6}{5}[/tex]
Together they will complete the order in 6/5 hours.
