    It will take them 8 minutes to work together

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Trent: 10 minutes = 1/10

    Lois: 40 minutes = 1/40

    Together: x minutes = 1/x

    1/10 (10x) + 1/40 (10x) = 1/x (10x) - -> x + 1/4x = 10 - -> 5/4x = 10

    10/1 divided by 5/4x = 10 times 4 divided by 5 = 8 minutes
