Respuesta :

Answer:

1 3/7 hours    exact answer

1.43 hours    decimal approximation

Step-by-step explanation:

1 brake/2hrs + 1brake/5hrs = x

to find how much they can do in the same amount of time

use common denominator of 10 hours

5brakes/10hrs + 2brakes/10 hrs = 7brakes/10 hrs

10 hrs for 7brakes = 10/7 hours for 1 brakes

1 3/7 hours to do the brakes working together

or as a decimal  about 1.4285714286 hours
