document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Working together, they make \"1%2F4\" + \"1%2F3\" = \"3%2F12\" + \"4%2F12\" = \"7%2F12\" of the job per hour.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "It means that they complete the job in  \"12%2F7\" hours = 1\"5%2F7\" hours = 1 hour and 43 minutes (approximately).    ANSWER\r\n" );
