[quote=“sedlmeier101"”]

It takes john 4 hours to mow a lawn. it takes mary 3 hours to mow the same lawn.

How long would it take if both of them worked together.

[/quote]

Obviously Mary is doing a half -assed job if it takes her only three hours and takes John four hours.

A man would never let his lawn look half-assed. So John will do it alone. Mary will then make iced-tea for John.

Trick question. Four hours.

EDIT\_ I should read before I post… Bob Saget was right.
