Answer:

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
