cooling room 10 degrees is on job.
\n" ); document.write( "small cooler can do the job in 90 minutes
\n" ); document.write( "it will do 1/90th of the job in 1 minute
\n" ); document.write( "big cooler can do the same job in 60 minutes
\n" ); document.write( "this will do 1/60th of the job in 1 minute.
\n" ); document.write( "together they can do 1/60+ 1/90 of the job in 1 minute
\n" ); document.write( "3+2 / 180
\n" ); document.write( "= 5/180
\n" ); document.write( "for 1 job they will take 180/5 minutes
\n" ); document.write( "= 36 minutes
\n" ); document.write( "
