Question 131386: I have a homework problem that I can't seem to solve. Could someone help me please. thank you. Sam accepted a job to brick a new home. He calculated that he can complete the job in 4 hours. He hired a trainee to assist him. He has seen the trainee work. He estimates that the trainee working alone would take 6 days to complete the job. How much time should the two of them working together need to brick the house?
