Yuk? Roll up your sleeves, we've got work to do!
Together they do 1/4 the job in 1 day.
A does 1/10 job in 1 day.
.
Together the do 3/4 the job in 3 days.
There is 1/4 of the job left to do. How many 1/10 make 1/4? Let a=number of days left.
a/10=1/4
a=10/4=5/2=2.5 days for team A to finish the job.
Easy, no ifs, ands or yuks about it.
