It would take both Carl and Joseph 0.1 hours to complete the work.

Equation

An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more numbers and variables.

Let t represent the amount of time in hours it would take them to finish the work.

For Carl, time = 15 minutes = 0.25 hr

For Joseph, time = 10 minutes = 0.167 hr

Hence:

[(1/0.25) + (1/0.167)]t = 1

t = 0.1 hr

It would take both Carl and Joseph 0.1 hours to complete the work.
