\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "A can do 1/3 of certain work in 10 days and B can do 2/5 of the same work in 8 days find how much work can B do in 1 day.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "I don't see the reason why A was mentioned since B can do 2/5 of the job in 8 days, and it's being asked how much work B can do in 1 day.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Since B can do \"2%2F5\" of the job in 8 days, then we can set up a proportion to answer this question.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Let fraction of work by B in 1 day be W. Then we'll have: \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%282%2F5%29%2FW+=+8%2F1\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"8W+=+2%2F5\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "W, or fraction of work that can be completed by B in 1 day = \"%282%2F5%29%2F8\" = \"highlight_green%281%2F20%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
