You can put this solution on YOUR website! Bob can paint houses in month
So, I can say Bob's rate of painting is: houses/year
-----------------------------
Jim takes twice as long as Bob, so Jim's
rate of painting is: houses/year
-------------------------
Steve's rate of painting is times Jim's, so
Jim can paint houses in a year
