Question 1187961: James and John, working together, can paint a room in 5 hours. If Jude helps James and John paint the room, the three of them can paint the room in 4 hours. What amount of time (in hours) would it take James, working alone, to paint the room? Answer by Solver92311(821) (Show Source):
