There are 630 dishes that need to be rinsed.
\n" ); document.write( " John can rinse them in 70 min by himself it will take his friend Bob 105 min to rinse these dishes.
\n" ); document.write( " How long will it take them if they rinse these 630 dishes together?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Do it as a \"shared work\" equation
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let t = time required when they work together
\n" ); document.write( "Let the completed job = 1 (the rinsing of 630 dishes)
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Each will do a fraction of the job, the two fractions add up to 1
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "\"t%2F70\" + \"t%2F105\" = 1
\n" ); document.write( "multiply by the LCM of 70 & 105 which is 210
\n" ); document.write( "210*\"t%2F70\" + 210*\"t%2F105\" = 210
\n" ); document.write( "Cancel the denominators and you hav
\n" ); document.write( "3t + 2t = 210
\n" ); document.write( "5t = 210
\n" ); document.write( "t = 42 min together
\n" ); document.write( ":

\n" ); document.write( "Check this
\n" ); document.write( "\"42%2F70\" + \"42%2F105\" = 1
