    Step-by-step explanation:

    The first mower can mow 1/7 of the yard in 1 hour.

    The second mower can mow 1/6 of the yard in 1 hour.

    Together, they can mow 1/7+1/6+13/42 of the yard in 1 hour.

    So it would take them 42/13 hours to mow the entire yard.

    42/13=3.2307 hours.

    Rounded to the nearest tenth this would be 3.2 hours.
