The experienced worker's rate is
\n" ); document.write( "\"+80%2F1+\" units/hr
\n" ); document.write( "The apprentice's rate is
\n" ); document.write( "\"+%28%283%2F5%29%2A80+%29%2F1+=+48%2F1+\" units/hr
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Working together, 2 apprentices have a rate of:
\n" ); document.write( "\"+%28+2%2A48+%29+%2F+1+=+96+%2F1+\" units/hr
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------
\n" ); document.write( "[ units ] / [ units/hr ] = hrs
\n" ); document.write( "\"+480+%2F+96+=+5+\"
\n" ); document.write( "It will take 2 apprentices 5 hrs to finish
\n" ); document.write( "480 units of work\r
