\r\n" );
document.write( "We have 6 workers the first time and 9 workers the second time.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "The least common multiple of 6 workers and 9 workers is 18 workers.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "if it takes 6 days for 6 workers to build a garage, then what about 18 workers?\r\n" );
document.write( "They would work 3 times as fast so it would take them only 1/3 as long as it\r\n" );
document.write( "took 6 workers, or only 2 hours.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "So if it takes 18 workers 2 hours to build a garage, then 9 workers would take\r\n" );
document.write( "twice as long, so it would take them 4 hours.\r\n" );
