<PRE><B>Question 1062659</B>
Let x be the number of days Miguel takes to finish the job alone, then
:
1/10) + (1/x) = 1/6
:
Note that the above equation represents the contribution of Miguel and Danny working together
:
The lowest common denominator is 30x
:
(3x + 30) / 30x = 5x / 30x
:
multiply both sides by 30x
:
3x + 30 = 5x
:
2x = 30
:
x = 15
:
