The time it will take Carley's dad to mow the lawn is 3.3 hours.
What is rate?
Rate is the ratio between two related quantities in different units. Therefore,
The rate Carley do the lawn = 1 / 5
When they work together they do it the 1 / 2 rate.
Therefore,
let
the hours it takes Carley dad = x hours . Therefore,
1 / 5 + 1 / x = 1 / 2
x + 5/ 5x = 1 / 2
cross multiply
2(x + 5) = 5x
2x + 10 = 5x
10 = 5x - 2x
10 = 3x
x = 10 / 3
x = 3.3 hours
