Question 1044061

Mike can repaint a dog house three times faster than miguel. If they work together, it will take them 4 days to complete the job. How long would it take for mike to do the repainting alone? 
<pre>Let time Mike takes be M
Then time Miguel takes is 3M
We then get the following equation: {{{1/M + 1/(3M) = 1/4}}}
Solve this for M, or time Mike takes. You should get: {{{highlight_green(matrix(1,4, 16/3, or, 5&1/3, days))}}}
