    4 hours and 57 minutes.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The least common multiple of 9 and 11 is 99.

    In 99 hours, Sue could fill 11 orders (99 divided by 11)

    Felipe could fill 9 orders (99 divided by 11), making a total of

    9 + 11 = 20 orders if they both work.

    So for both of them working to fill one order would take:

    99 / 20 hours.

    To express in hours and minutes:

    99 / 20 = 80 / 20 + 19 / 20 = 4 + 3 ⋅ 19 / 3 ⋅ 20 = 4 + 57 / 60

    That's 4 hours and 57 minutes, since a sixtieth of an hour is one minute.
