Calculating Time and Rates

Ian and Kyandre are tasked with raking a lawn and bagging leaves. Ian can complete the task in 5 hours, while Kyandre can do it in 3 hours. The video explains how to calculate their combined work rate by determining how much of the task each can complete per hour. By adding their rates, we find they can complete 8/15 of the task per hour together. This means they will take 1 hour and 52.5 minutes to finish the task when working together.
