    8.47 Hours

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Allen can take 16 hours, while

    Brianne can take 18 hours;

    Therefore, in 1 hour Allen will complete a fraction of 1/16, while

    in 1 hour Brianne will complete a fraction of 1/18

    When working together, in 1 hour they will complete a fraction of (1/18+1/16)

    = 17/144,

    Therefore; to complete the whole project working together, they will take;

    144/17 = 8.47 hours
