Amy does 1/3rd of a room per hour; while Tim does 1/4th a room per hour. Together, they do 1/3+1/4=4/12+3/12 or 7/12 rooms per hour. This means they do a whole room together in 12/7 hours
\n" ); document.write( "481 rooms + 12/7 hours/room=824.57 hours total
\n" ); document.write( "824.57 hours x $50/hour=???
