You can put this solution on YOUR website!
I could solve it the longer way, but the shorter way is easier to understand\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Chuck shovelled for a total of 30mins $\"20alone%2B10with+Joan\"$
\n" ); document.write( "In 30 mins he would have shovelled 30/40= 3/4th of the walk
\n" ); document.write( "Joan shovelled for 10mins
\n" ); document.write( "She shovelled the remaining 1/4th in 10mins
\n" ); document.write( "For her to shovel the entire thing $\"4+%2A+1%2F4\"$ $\"4%2A10\"$
\n" ); document.write( "So Joan also would take 40mins to shovel the driveway \n" ); document.write( "
