You can put this solution on YOUR website!
RT=W relates work rate, time, and amount of work. The basic situation needs an adjustment as nRT=W and the rate for n workers each acting together at rate R is nR.\r

\n" ); document.write( "means $\"3r%2A2=1\"$ . The rate for 1 worker is r. One job to be done is \"paint 1 house\".\r
