\r\n" );
document.write( "Since Terri and Candace can mow the lawn in 18 min, they mow  of the lawn area per minute working together.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Since Candace can mow the lawn in 30 min, he (or she ?) mows  of the lawn area per minute working alone.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Hence, Terri working alone can mow  =  =  =  of the lawn area per minute.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Thus it will take 45 minutes for Terri to complete the job working alone.\r\n" );
