    The rate of how many projects Taylor can complete can be modeled at x/6 and Brianne can be modelled as x/8. So, by combining the functions and setting equal to 1, you can solve.

    x/6 + x/8 = 1

    You have to give common demoninators

    4x/24 + 3x/24 = 1

    Then add together and cross multiply. Giving you an answer of 24/7 or roughly 3.43 hours when rounded to the nearest hundredth.
