Question 937419
RATES as JOB per HOUR
Willard, 1/6
Assistant, 1/8


"Completing the job" means, 1 whole job.


RT=J  rate time job, basic uniform rates rule


The two do not work at this job simultaneously.
Willards time, 1 hour.
Assistant's time, {{{x}}} hours.


{{{highlight((1/6)*1+(1/8)*x=1)}}}
