\n" ); document.write( "
Let time Pam takes be P
\n" );
document.write( "Then time Matt takes is 2P
\n" );
document.write( "We then get: \"matrix%281%2C3%2C+1%2FP+%2B+1%2F%282P%29%2C+%22=%22%2C+1%2F8%29\"
\n" );
document.write( "8 + 4 = P ------ Multiplying by LCD, 8P
\n" );
document.write( "Time Pam takes, or \"highlight_green%28matrix%281%2C4%2C+P%2C+%22=%22%2C+12%2C+hours%29%29\" \n" );
document.write( "
\n" );
