Open Question: im stuck on this word problem?

This appears to be a combined rate problem where:

rate 1 + rate 2 = rate combined

(task/time)1 + (task/time)2 = (task/time)combined
(1 page/8 mni) + (1 page/14 min) = (1 page/t min)
(1/8) + (1/14) = (1/t)
(7/56) + (4/56) = (1/t)
(11/56) = (1/t)
t = 56/11
t = 5 1/11 min
t = 5 minutes 5 seconds

Hope this helps...good luck!
