If Sabrina can assemble a tank in 8 hours, and Janis can assemble a tank in 13 hours, then Sabrina and Janis working together at their constant respective rates can assemble a tank in approximately how many hours?

(A) 21
(B) 18
(C) 7
(D) 5
(E) 2

The combined rate of both women is 1/8 + 1/13 = 13/104 + 8/104 = 21/104, so the time is 1/(21/104) = 104/21 hours, or approximately 5 hours.

Answer: D
