Question 291676: Frank can paint a mural in 10 days. With the help of an apprentice it would take only 6 days. How long would it take the apprentice to paint the mural working alone? Answer by richwmiller(17219) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 6/10+6/x=1
6/10=3/5
so 6/x must equal 2/5
6/x=2/5
2x=30
x=15 days for the apprentice alone
6/15=2/5
