\n" ); document.write( "================================
\n" ); document.write( "Jim DATA:
\n" ); document.write( "time = 2 hr/job ; rate = 1/2 job/hr
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Kelly DATA:
\n" ); document.write( "Time = (2/3) hr/job ; rate = (3/2) job/hr
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Together DATA
\n" ); document.write( "Time = x hr/job ; rate = (1/x) job/hr.
\n" ); document.write( "------------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "rate + rate = together rate
\n" ); document.write( "1/2 + 3/2 = 1/x\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "2 = 1/x
\n" ); document.write( "x = 1/2 hr. (time for both to do the job together)
\n" ); document.write( "=====================================================
