Answer:
30 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
Max mow the lawn in 45 minutes
Jan take twice the time Max takes
∴ Jan mow the lawn in 90 minutes
Now,
Max's one minute work = 1/45
Jan's one minute work = 1/90
If both work together then work done in one minute
= Max's One minute work + Jan's One minute work
= 1/45 + 1/90
= 2/90 + 1/90
= 3/90 or 1/30
In one minute they finish 1/30th part of the work
Time taken to finish whole work by both of them together = 1 ÷ 1/30
= 30 minutes
