Question 1083621: Greg and Joan are trying to decide whether to take on a job that is scheduled to take them 8 days to complete if they work together. The problem is, that while this is a very well paying job, they have only 8 days of vacation and they don�t wish to spend the whole vacation working. But they do need the money. . . To their joy, Brenda said that she could use some extra income too, and she�d like to join them in the job. Assuming the friends all work at the same rate, how much time will the job take all three friends to complete if they work together?
