Let r = semi skilled worker rate for 1 worker
\n" ); document.write( "Let R = skilled worker rate for 1 worker\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"4R%2A5=1\" and \"5r%2A6=1\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"R=1%2F20\" and \"r=1%2F30\", you know the one-worker work rate as job per time in days.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The rate of a group of workers together is the combined rate by addition of all of the workers in the group.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Your question needs a time variable, d for days.
\n" ); document.write( "1 semi skilled plus 2 skilled workers;
