Question 915204
Uniform Rates for two agents operating at the same time.


One agent has {{{1/u}}}   JOBS per TIME unit
Other agent has {{{1/v}}}  JOBS per TIME unit
The numerator means "ONE WHOLE JOB", and the denominator is amount of time for that one job.


The rate for the two agents operating on the same job at the same time is the sum of their individual rates; so for these two very generalized agents, when working simultaneously on the same job, their rate is  ......
{{{highlight(1/u+1/v)}}}.


The reciprocal of that will be the time for the combination of those agents to do 1 job:


{{{highlight(1/(1/u+1/v))}}}, units of time.
