If Steven can mix 20 drinks in 5 minutes, Sue can mix 20 drinks in 10 minutes, and Jack can mix 20 drinks in 15 minutes, how much time does it take all 3 of them working together to mix 20 drinks/
\n" ); document.write( ";
\n" ); document.write( "let t = time required to mix 20 drinks working together:
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "let the completed job = 1; (the mixing of 20 drinks)
\n" ); document.write( ";
\n" ); document.write( "\"t%2F5\" + \"t%2F10\" + \"t%2F15\" = 1
\n" ); document.write( "mult eq by 30, results:

\n" ); document.write( "t = \"30%2F11\"
\n" ); document.write( "t = 2.727 min or 2 + .727(60) = 2 min 43.6 sec
