Question 997209
<pre>
Engineers     rate             time        work
GARY          1/8              
CLINT         1/6               t          (1/6)t
BOTH          (1/8+1/6)         2          (1/8+1/6)*2
Total                                       1
</pre>


RT=W, basic uniform rate relationship to do work;
This example uses W=1, for ONE WHOLE WORK or JOB.


Most logical next step is  form equation  {{{t/6+2/8+2/6=1}}}
{{{t/6+1/4+1/3=1}}}, LCD is 12,
{{{12(t/6+1/4+1/3)=12}}}
{{{2t+3+4=12}}}
{{{2t=12-7}}}
{{{2t=5}}}
{{{highlight(t=2&1/2)}}}

<s>Find t</s>.
