Pat can mow the grass on the football field in 45 minutes. Jordan can mow
the same football field in 53 minutes. How long would it take them to mow
one football field if they both worked together? Round your answer to the
nearest tenth of a minute.

You set up the equation like this:

T/45+T/53=1

You find the least common factor of 53 and 45 and times both sides so you end up with this:

53T+45T= least common factor

Then add up 53T and 45T.

98T= least common factor

Then divide 98 from both sides. That will be your answer.

Sorry I didn't have enough time to find the least common factor but it is a number that they both go into. I would check to make sure I'm correct. I hope this helps!
