\r\n" );
document.write( "The condition says that Eddie can make a job in 3 hours.\r\n" );
document.write( "Hence, Ana can do it in 1.5 hours.\r\n" );
document.write( "Hence, John can finis the job in 1.5-1 = 0.5 hour.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Now, their rates of work are  of the job per hour (Eddie),  (Ana) and  (John).\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Hence, their combined rate of work is the sum\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( " =  =  =  = 3 jobs per hour.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Hence, they need  of an hour, or 20 minutes, to complete the job working together.\r\n" );
