document.write( "Shortly speaking, in \"1%2F%281%2F12-1%2F30%29\" = \"1%2F%285%2F60-2%2F60%29\" = \"1%2F%28%283%2F60%29%29\" = 20 minutes.\r\n" );

document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Working together, they make \"1%2F12\" of the job per minute.\r\n" );

document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Working alone, Asha makes \"1%2F30\" of the job per minute.\r\n" );

document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Hence, Nathaniel makes  \"1%2F12+-+1%2F30\" = \"5%2F60-2%2F60\" = \"3%2F60\" = \"1%2F20\" of the job per minute.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "It means that Nathaniel will make all the job in 20 minutes working alone.\r\n" );
