If Sam can do a job in 4 days, that Lisa can do in 6 days, and Tom can do in 2 days, how long would the job take if Sam, Lisa, and Tom worked together to complete it?
\n" ); document.write( ";
\n" ); document.write( "Let x = time required when all work together
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let the completed job = 1
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%2F4\" + \"x%2F6\" + \"x%2F2\" = 1
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply equation by 12 and you have::
\n" ); document.write( "3x = 2x + 6x = 12
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "11x = 12
\n" ); document.write( "x = \"12%2F11\"
\n" ); document.write( "x = 1.09 days
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
