Question 809501: A and B together can do a piece of work in 24/5 days B and C together can do it in 8 days and A B C together in 4 days , A and C together will finish in how many days ? Answer by richwmiller(17219) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 24/5=4.8
4.8/a+4.8/b=1,
8/b+8/c=1,
4/a+4/b+4/c=1
a = 8, b = 12, c = 24
x/8+x/24=1
x=6
a and c together will finish the job in 6 days
