You can put this solution on YOUR website!
In one minute, Jim can do 1/30=3/90
\n" ); document.write( "In one minute, Sue can do 1/45=2/90
\n" ); document.write( "In one minute,Tony can do 1/90=1/90
\n" ); document.write( "3/90t+2/90t+1/90t=1
\n" ); document.write( "(6/90)*t=1
\n" ); document.write( "Solve for t
\n" ); document.write( "We would expect the job to be done by all three in much less than 30 minutes since Jim can do it alone in 30 minutes
