\n" ); document.write( "
If Mark can complete the work in M hours, then in 1 hour, he and Jessie can complete the work in: 
\n" ); document.write( "If Jessie can complete the work in J hours, then in 1 hour, he and Mark can complete the work in:
\n" ); document.write( "So, for Mark, it can either be: \"highlight_green%28matrix%281%2C3%2C+1%2FM%2C+or%2C+1%2F%28J+-+5%29%29%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "For Jessie, it can either be: \"highlight_green%28matrix%281%2C3%2C+1%2FJ%2C+or%2C+1%2F%28M+%2B+5%29%29%29\" \n" ); document.write( "
