Answer:

18mins

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem is on combined work rate

given that

Marta can vacuum the house in 30 min

then her rate= 1/30

Also, her daughter will take 45 min to vacuum the house

her  daughter's rate will be = 1/45

then the combined work rate is

1/30+1/45=1/T

30+45/30*45=1/T

75/1350= 1/T

1/18=1/T

This means that they will both take 18 minutes working together to vacum a house
