The question is same as, how many days for two workers to do HALF the job?\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "RT=J for work rate, time, amount of job\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Each worker working at rate r becomes n workers together making rate n*r.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"16r%2A%282.75%29=1%2F2\"
\n" ); document.write( "Use this to find one-worker rate, r.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Unknown time in days, t:
\n" ); document.write( "2 workers
\n" ); document.write( "\"1%2F2\" jobs,
\n" ); document.write( "-
\n" ); document.write( "\"2r%2At=1%2F2\"
\n" ); document.write( "Solve for t;
\n" ); document.write( "substitute for r;
\n" ); document.write( "simplify and evaluate t.
\n" ); document.write( "
