$\large  \frac{ 3 }{ 3 }+\frac{ 1 }{ 3 }=\frac{ 1 }{ x } $

anonymous · Answer

$$\frac{ 4 }{ 3}=\frac{ 1 }{ x }$$ right?

ganeshie8 · Answer

Yep

anonymous · Answer

then what :)

ganeshie8 · Answer

you still need to solve x

ganeshie8 · Answer

just flip the fractions on both sides :)

anonymous · Answer

so x/1=3/4?

ganeshie8 · Answer

Yes!

anonymous · Answer

So then you multiply 1 on both sides to get x by itself? so the x=3/4?

ganeshie8 · Answer

thats right ! so it takes just 3/4 hours if they cheat together on assignment :P
