    Work in the rates / minute

    wilma: - in 120 minutes she mows 1 lawn

    so in 1 minute she mows 1/120 lawn

    similarly, Rock mows 1/80 lawn in 1 minute

    working together 1/120 + 1/80 = 1/x where x is number of minutes working together

    1/20 + 1/80 = 1/48

    so 1/x = 1/48

    x = 48

    answer is 48 minutes
