The number of hours it will take both the surveyor and apprentice to complete the same job is 15/56 hours.

Rate of work

  • Hours it takes the experienced surveyor = 7 hours
  • Surveyors rate of work = 1/7

  • Hours it takes the apprentice = 8 hours
  • Apprentice rate of work = 1/8

If the two work together;

Time taken for both to complete the task = Surveyors rate of work + Apprentice rate of work

= 1/8 + 1/7

= (7+8) / 56

= 15/56 hours

Therefore, the number of hours it will take both the surveyor and apprentice to complete the same job is 15/56 hours.
