The one-man rate is 1/32 house per hour;
\n" ); document.write( "and the one-woman rate is 1/64 house per hour.
\n" ); document.write( "They were picked that way using rates of agents working together being additive.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "6 women and 4 men together:
\n" ); document.write( "\"4%281%2F32%29%2B6%281%2F64%29\" the rate for this group, houses per hour.
\n" ); document.write( "\"4%2A2%2F64%2B6%2F64\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"%288%2B6%29%2F64\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"14%2F64\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"7%2F32\", this group rate.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "If you want how many HOURS per HOUSE, find the reciprocal.
\n" ); document.write( "\"32%2F7\" hours per house. \"4%264%2F7\" hours.
