Work Rates---------------

ram, 45 articles per hour
shyam, 40 articles per hour

RT=Q for rate, time, quantity of articles

Shyam worked t+5 hours in the same week that ram worked t hours; the number of articles each produced was the same.
ram, 45 articles per hour, worked t hours;
shyam, 40 articles per hour, worked t+5 hours.


This meant 40%28t%2B5%29=45%2At.
