Show an equation and a solution for the problem. Crane A can unload a ship in 10 hours and crane B can unload it in 14 hours. How long will it take the two cranes to unload the ship working together? Round to the nearest tenth.

my last question lol..

OpenStudy (akshay_budhkar):

i believe the equation is\[{1 \over t} ={ 1 \over 10} + {1 \over 14}\] as time is inversely proportional to the number of cranes that work, but i may be wrong (probably a silly mistake at this time of the day maybe possible :P )

OpenStudy (akshay_budhkar):

did u verify if it is correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The answer is correct, but I wouldn't have done it that way :P
