7+4= 11/2 is equal to 9 and 1 half hours.
Oh heavens, it takes them longer working together Lu ????
Bill paints 1/4 house per hour
John paints 1/7 house per hour
so together they paint
1/4 + 1/ 7 = 7/28 + 4/28 = 11/28 houses per hour
which is 28 /11 hours/house
or around 2.55 hours
or 2 hours and 33 minutes
