Given that Cindy takes 95 min to complete the route and Tim takes 55 min to complete the route.

Meaning in 1 min, Cindy complete 1/95 of the job while Tim completes 1/55 of the job.

In 1 min, they complete 1/95 + 1/55 = 6/209 of the route. 

To find out how long they take to complete the whole route simply, take 209/6 = 34.8 mins approx.
