\n" ); document.write( "Julie time = 4 hrs/job ; rate = 1/4 job/hr
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "Pat time = 6 hrs/job ; rate = 1/6 job/hr
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "Together time = x hrs/job ; rate = 1/x job/hr
\n" ); document.write( "------
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "rate + rate = together rate
\n" ); document.write( "1/4 + 1/6 = 1/x
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply thru by 12x to get:
\n" ); document.write( "3x + 2x = 12
\n" ); document.write( "5x = 12
\n" ); document.write( "x = 12/5 = 2.8 hrs = 2 hr 48 minutes (together time)
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "Finish time 2:48 PM
