    24 minutes. Assuming that 2 people who will repair a refrigerator equally fast will do it twice as fast when working together:

    Jannete repairs 1/60 refrigerator per minute.

    Lisa repairs 1/40 refrigerator per minute.

    Togheter they repair 1/60+1/40 = 1/60 + 1,5/60 = 2,5/60=5/120=1/24 refrigerator per minute

    thus it will take them 24 minutes
