document.write( "Rob makes   \"1%2F9\" of the job in one hour.\r\n" );
document.write( "Huong makes \"1%2F15\" of the job in one hour.\r\n" );
document.write( "Working together, they make \"1%2F9+%2B+1%2F15\" = \"5%2F45+%2B+3%2F45\" = \"8%2F45\" of the job in one hour.\r\n" );
document.write( "Hence, it will take \"45%2F8\" = \"5\"\"5%2F8\" hours for Rob and Huong to make the job working together.\r\n" );
