You will find a lot of prototypes/samples there.


Read it attentively and then solve your problem by substituting your data.


<pre>
In couple lines, the solution is 

{{{1/5 + 1/4}}} = {{{4/20 + 5/20}}} = {{{9/20}}} 

is the combined rate of work of A and C working together.
It means that they both can complete the job in  {{{20/9}}}  hours.

For details see the lesson above.
