I got B. 4 hours.
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Find the unit rate of both painters. So in 1 hour, the painter finishes 1/6 of the house. In 1 hour the partner finishes 1/12th of the house.
2. A completed house equals 1.
3. Putting it all together you get: 1/6+1/12=1. Since we want to know the number of hours, x is in the numerator. Giving x/6 + x/12 =1.
4. Multiply by 12 to get common denominator for the whole equation, you get 2x +x =12. Solve for x you get 4.
