Question

A can do 2/3 of a certain work in 16 days and B can do 1/4 of the same work in 3days. In how many days can both finish the work, working together?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

A can that work in 24 days because if 2 parts are equal to 16 then 3 parts are equal to 24 only

same way B can the work in 12 days

1 part 3days

4 parts =12 days

so A one day work = 1/24

and B one day work = 1/12

combined work =

$\frac{1}{24} + \frac{1}{12} = \frac{1 + 2}{24} = \frac{3}{24}$

= 1/8

so that means they can complete the work in 8 days
