..
JV .......... 10 hours
JV does 1/10 of the job in 1 hour
Ayah ..........15 hours
Ayah does 1/15 of the job in 1 hour
...
Together they do %281%2F10%29+%2B+%281%2F15%29 job in 1 hour
LCD = 30
=%283%2B2%29%2F%2830%29
=5%2F30
=1%2F6 of the job in 1 hour
so together they take 6 hours to do the editing
