Answer:

  c.  30.0 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Max mows 1/45 lawns per minute.

Jan takes twice as long (90 minutes per lawn), so mows 1/90 lawns per minute.

Working together, they mow ...

  (1/45 + 1/90) lawns per minute = (2/90 +1/90) lawn/min = 3/90 lawn/min

  = 1/30 lawn/min

Then for one lawn, it takes ...

  (1 lawn)/(1/30 lawn/min) = 30 min

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

30 min
