document.write( "Rate of work of A is \"1%2F8\" of the job per hour; of B is \"1%2F10\" and of C \"1%2F12\" of the job per hour.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "When A and B worked together for 1 hour, they completed \"1%2F8%2B1%2F10\" = \"5%2F40+%2B+4%2F40\" = \"9%2F40\" of the job.\r\n" );

document.write( "Hence, \"1-9%2F40\" = \"31%2F40\" of the work remained uncompleted.\r\n" );

document.write( "The combined rate of work for B and C is \"1%2F10%2B1%2F12\" = \"6%2F60%2B5%2F60\" = \"11%2F60\".\r\n" );
