document.write( "Mark makes \"1%2F24\" of the work per day. It is his rate of work.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Andres makes \"1%2F18\" of the work per day. It is his rate of work.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Working together, they make \"1%2F24+%2B+1%2F18\" = \"3%2F72+%2B+4%2F72\" = \"7%2F72\" of the work per day.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Hence, it will take \"72%2F7\" = \"10\"\"2%2F7\" days for them to complete the job working together.\r\n" );
