    6 minutes

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Mr Crenshaw checks at a rate of 1/10 and Mr. Aguirre checks at a rate of 1/15.

    If they work together, they will be checking at a combined rate of:

    1/10 + 1/15 = [3 (1) + 2 (1) ]/30

    = 5/30 = 1/6

    Their combined rate is 1/6 which means they check one set in 6 minutes
