Answer 2

Given:

Time for which Manish worked = ½ of an hour

Time for which Yash worked = ¼ of an hour

To find:

The total time for which they both worked.

Solution:

Manish worked for ½ of an hour.

Yash worked for ¼ of an hour.

After adding both the fractions, we can get the total time.

We cannot add fractions with different denominators directly.

The denominators must be the same. Therefore, we will take the L.C.M and then add the fractions.

= ½ + ¼

The denominators are 2 and 4. So, we will take the L.C.M of 2 and 4.

L.C.M of 2 and 4 = 4

The final answer is,

= (2+1)/4

= ¾

Since, 1 hour = 60 minutes

¾ hour = 3/4 × 60 = 45 minutes.

Manish and Yash worked for ¾ of an hour.

In minutes, the duration is 45 minutes.
