Given
Betty can pour a concete driverway in 6.5 hours
Work done by Betty in 1 hour is 1 6.5 hour
Both can do work in 1 hour is to complete the work
= 1 6.5 + 1 7.75
On solving futher as
1 w = 10 65 + 100 775 1 w = 2 13 + 20 155 1 w = 2 × 155 + 20 × 13 13 × 155 1 w = 570 2015
work done by both Betty and as is required so
w = 2015 570 = 3.53  hours
Both Betty and Lashea can work together to complete the task in 3.53 hours
